Barbara Gladstone Gallery
515 W. 24th St., nr. Tenth Ave.; 212-206-9300.
Bankable names like Anish Kapoor and Sarah Lucas in a space as big as their reputations.

525 W. 19th St., nr. Tenth Ave.; 212-727-2070.
International talent that’s unafraid of pushing the envelope; think Chris Ofili (an artist whose work has incorporated elephant dung) and Lisa Yuskavage (fleshy portraits of women).

Gagosian Gallery
522 W. 21st St., nr. Tenth Ave.; 212-741-1717.
A show at any of Gagosian's influential galleries—three in New York, two in London, and one in L.A.—is the flashing neon announcement that an artist has made it.

Matthew Marks
523 W 24th St., nr. Tenth Ave.; 212-243-0200.
Andreas Gursky, Peter Hujar, and Nan Goldin made this gallery one to watch; new shows from old masters like Ellsworth Kelly and Willem de Kooning have kept it that way.

Zach Feuer Gallery
530 W. 24th St., nr. Eleventh Ave.; 212-989-7700.
The scene’s risk-taking, young powerhouse displays emerging names like Jules de Balincourt and Dana Schutz.
