BEAT MAGAZINE· 17/11/2025 · Words by Staff WriterNew York’s Chrysler Building access granted to Marco Luccio for upcoming Manhattan exhibition opening at 14Gallery on 27 November.
Melbourne will step inside the raw pulse of New York when artist Marco Luccio opens Manhattan at 14 Gallery this month. Luccio is one of the only artists ever granted access to work inside the Chrysler Building, creating some of the exhibition’s most powerful works from this rare vantage point across rooftops, sidewalks and throughoutManhattan.
This series marks a new high point for Luccio. Works are visceral, layered and filled with the tension, movementand intensity of the city that has shaped him for more than 20 years. Painted and drawn in the weather, noise and unpredictability of New York, the pieces carry the urgency of the streets themselves.
