This work is a 1:6 scale reproduction of The Wrong Gallery which was located in Chelsea, New York, at 516 A 1/2 West 20th Street from 2002-2005. The location satirized the lavishness and glitz of contemporary exhibition spaces. The Wrong Gallery measured only 27 square feet, and though it never actually opened, "visitors" could peer through the glass front door at rotating "exhibitions" that featured programming conceptualized by Cattelan, Subotnick and Gioni. Another replica of The Wrong Gallery has since reopened, even smaller at only 10.5 square feet, at the Tate Modern, London.
