Vito Schnabel an Art Dealer


For an art dealer with just five years in the business and without a secure stable of artists, Vito Schnabel is building quite a showroom empire. The son of artist Julian Schnabel, the 21-year-old has just returned to New York from London, where he curated a show at the Scream Gallery.

Mr. Schnabel will soon take command of a 4,300-square-foot space on West 23rd Street, lent by a friend of his, that will serve as his private showroom. In September, Mr. Schnabel and his father will open a gallery in the first floor of the elder Schnabel’s palatial pink West Village townhouse, dubbed Palazzo Chupi. And the budding dealer also plans to use a portion of the same building as a third private exhibition room.
