…at Getty Station.  Michael Shvo, real estate developer and art collector, has turned the former Getty Filling Station into a unique venue for site specific public art.

Getty Station, nestled into the corner of a modern condominium building, is clearly on a piece of land ripe for development into luxury residences.  Indeed, it will eventually be developed by SHVO.

But until then, it will be a fascinating venue in an area already gallery rich - the High Line art district of Chelsea.

The inaugural exhibit was Sheep Station (2013), by François-Xavier Lalanne.

Twenty five of Lalanne's iconic epoxy stone and bronze "Moutons" congregated on the corner.
