Wait — I can't name the street; the wire only says Chelsea. Lee Bul's First Show With Hauser & Wirth Brings a Vast Airship Into Chelsea Lee Bul has opened her first exhibition with Hauser & Wirth, in Chelsea, and its centerpiece is an enormous airship suspended inside the gallery. The work looks at modern progress from both sides: what it promised and where it fell short.

For collectors who follow the gallery's program in New York, it marks the moment an important artist joins one of the city's major houses.
