4411 Montrose
Houston TX 77006
The Museum District is a nexus for gallery action. 4411 Montrose Gallery Building is home to five galleries. The soaring, two-storing minimalist structure (designed by internationally known Houston architect Peter Zweig) was unveiled in 2005, featuring top-tier tenants Barbara Davis Gallery, Peel Gallery, Anya Tish Gallery, Joan Wich & Co. Gallery and Wade Wilson Art. 4411's Barbara Davis is recognized for having her pulse on the international scene (she recently mounted a show for artists from culture capital Leipzig, Germany) as well as a keen eye for emerging talent (she was the first ever to exhibit New York-art star painter Julie Mehretu (a former Core Resident at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston's Glassell School of Art); Peel Gallery features cutting edge design culled from America, Europe and Asia; Anya Tish has recently expanded her eye from Eastern European to intriguing Texans such as Neva Mikulicz's multi-media realism: Joan Wich showcases Houston masters including Floyd Newsum's rhythmic, symbol-laden canvases; and Wade Wilson's mission is to promote international concrete artists (mid-career notable Joseph Marioni's powerful monochromes were recently highlighted).
