Brett Amory’s This Land is Not For Sale: Forgotten, Past and Foreseeable Futures at Jonathan LeVine Gallery is a new solo exhibition exploring the changing landscape of New York City. Paintings of famous storefronts and buildings are showcased. Some are long gone (Mars Bar, CBGB.) Some are still around (ABC No Rio, Economy Candy, Yonah Shimmel.) Some are currently going through changes (190 Bowery.) Featured in the entrance of the gallery is one of those green construction underpasses seen all over the city. As hyper gentrification continues, how many more of the businesses featured in these paintings will be replaced with luxury developments?
