One of the most intriguing and exciting design events of 2022 was the opening of Lee F. Mindel’s Galerie56 in TriBeCa. Mindel is an architect, curator, writer, and tastemaker who has created streamlined interiors and elegant architecture for decades with the SheltonMindel team, which have been consistently celebrated. There are few who understand design like Mindel, and his engagement with the galleries and auctions as well as the expertise he has developed in the world of objects has lent him the nickname of the ‘Eye.’ The new gallery— situated on the ground level of the Jenga Tower by Herzog & de Meuron—is Mindel’s art playground where he has the opportunity to fully express his vision by curating special exhibitions, developing new ways for objects to be interpreted and lived with. He goes his own way, always striving for perfection and always looking to unearth new ideas in historical and contemporary materials. Mindel’s current show, Gaetano Pesce Unframed, is the first to focus on the drawings by the multidisciplinary New York-based Italian architect, and it is a testimony to his signature style.
