Copy Link Installation view of 'The Violets in the Mountains Have Broken the Rocks' with Tucker Nichols' work on the left wall and Cliff Hengst's work on the right wall. (Courtesy Gallery 16) The first show I visited in 2021 was also a last: Gallery 16’s final exhibition in the ground-floor SoMa space it’s leased since 2005. This moment has been coming—the building’s new owner wanted to raise the rent more than threefold, and gallery founder Griff Williams long ago negotiated their time in the space till the end of January. But what he didn’t expect was to still be looking for Gallery 16’s next home.
