871 Fine Arts

Description:

• The ever-changing selection of contemporary art is an excellent reason to visit this typically minimalist gallery with long thin windows that let in massive quantities of light. So is the staff that is well-versed in the art scene. The best reason, though, is the selection of art books and exhibition catalogs, many out of print and very difficult to find elsewhere. The prices reflect the rarity, too. But if you long for the companion book to the 1979 Magritte show at the Pompidou Center, this may be the place.
