I spend my weekdays writing wall labels and condition reports for other people's spreadsheets — so weekends are for wandering galleries with no clipboard, just a flat white and zero deadlines. This is the rotation I actually keep in my pocket (not the press-release version). Fair warning: provenance jokes ahead, and I will absolutely rank white cubes like ramen broth.

Chelsea & Beyond Gallery Rounds — 6 items
Name	Comment	Address	City	Neighborhood	Known For
1Pace Gallery	The building itself is basically a sculpture — I've spent more time admiring the staircase than some of the shows (don't tell them).	540 West 25th Street	New York, NY	Chelsea	Eight-story tower, kinetic light artists, elevator small talk
2Gagosian	Walking in feels like a provenance flex even before you've seen the art — the ceiling height alone is a power move.	555 West 24th Street	New York, NY	Chelsea	Mega-gallery scale, estate shows, security guards with better outfits than me
3Hauser & Wirth	Every show here has wall text dense enough to need its own registrar — I read it anyway, out of professional solidarity.	542 West 22nd Street	New York, NY	Chelsea	Estate representation, bold color group shows, a bookstore you'll overspend in
4303 Gallery	Small-ish space but they never waste a square foot — tight hang, no filler, very 'spreadsheet person' of them.	555 West 21st Street	New York, NY	Chelsea	Conceptual photography, video work, consistently sharp curation
5James Cohan Gallery	Underrated bench placement — I will judge a gallery by whether it lets me sit and think, and this one does.	48 Walker Street	New York, NY	Tribeca	Thoughtful mid-career surveys, sculpture-heavy programming
6Karma	I've bought more art books here than I'll admit to my landlord — the bookstore is a trap and I walk into it willingly.	188 East 2nd Street	New York, NY	East Village	Figurative painting revival, gorgeous print shop next door
