William Bennett Gallery was exhibiting Dali’s prints in the day when I was hanging out in SoHo for a random walk. The large and eye catching poster outside the front door in Greene Street obviously attracted the most audience in SoHo comparing to other galleries, especially in a extremely chilly Friday afternoon.
The quality of the works is unquestionable for sure, because it is Dali’s work anyhow. And the price of the work is not too high, since most of the works are printed for 1000 editions or more, the work is acquirable for normal middle-class collectors, which is really matter especially in this economy. However, I should say that the show is totally screwed up by the seventeenth or eighteenth century like factitious context. The garnet color and enchased golden framework create a kind of classical atmosphere imitating the typical exhibiting space of MET but totally incompatible with the images they are carrying. I believe whatever kind of simple frameworks would create more comfortable feeling for the show.

I didn’t find any introductory information of the gallery on their website, neither mission nor history, but at least it’s clear that William Bennett is a gallery mainly representing master modern artists, for their artists roster include Joan Miró, Picasso, Matisse, etc. But their way of installation make the modern art seems like antique already.
