The full range of his work can be seen in this exhibition.  Back by popular demand, Steve Shane continues a guided tour of his Manhattan apartment.

The paintings stretch for 450 feet around the museum’s curved galleries… all exhibitions jobs The initial primary focus is the Whitechapel Gallery at Windsor (W@W) project, which opens at the beginning of December and runs until the end of February (roughly).
