Open by appointment. ## Exhibitions ### David Leventi: *Perchance to Dream: Royal and Noble Bedchambers* Oct 8 – Dec 30, 2026 · on view, just opened Large color photographs of the private bedchambers of kings, queens and nobles in palaces and country houses across Europe and the UK. Leventi turns the precise, frontal approach of his opera house series to the sleeping quarters of rulers, from Louis XIV’s and Marie-Antoinette’s rooms at Versailles to Ludwig II’s at Herrenchiemsee, Chatsworth, Houghton Hall, Pavlovsk, Chenonceau and Palazzo Mansi. The prints are digital chromogenic, 50 x 40 or 60 x 50 inches. Made over about ten years, the pictures dwell on heavy brocade, damask and velvet hangings. The gallery frames them as a counterpoint to current talk of American monarchical leanings.

Marchand and Sobsey have collaborated on alternative photographic projects for five years. The show begins with This Earthen Door, reworked images from scans of Emily Dickinson’s herbarium of pressed flowers, and moves to Understory, their current project. Understory draws on the New York Botanical Garden’s archive, especially pictures by early twentieth-century staff photographer Fleda Griffith, a largely overlooked figure. The artists use her work to ask about visibility and historical memory for women in science and photography.
