Perry Rubenstein (CLOSED)

Perry Rubenstein isn't just another NY transplant looking to dabble in the emerging LA art scene. When the successful NY gallerist decided to open an LA outpost, he uprooted and moved here, joining MOCA director Jeffrey Deitch and others who rightfully understand LA's standing as an arts epicenter, and a place where artists—and gallerists—have more freedom to experiment. Rubenstein's gallery opened its doors in the summer of 2012 with an exciting roster of exhibits from LA-based talent, including an installation from the late post–conceptual artist Mike Kelley, and new works from artist and photgrapher Zoe Crosher. His capacious gallery, a former film-supply warehouse on Highland Avenue, is airy and sprawling. We're excited to see what this former New Yorker will bring to the LA art scene, now that he's one of ours.
