Wang Contemporary

The Beaux Arts building at 58 Bowery has been an anchor of Chinatown for a century, owned for most of that time by the Citizens Savings Bank. Designer Alexander Wang and his mother, Ying Wang, purchased the landmarked building in 2025; this month, the pair will launch their dream of a hub for Asian and Asian-American creativity in the neighborhood with the opening of The Wang Contemporary (TWC). The center's inaugural exhibition, "20,000 Variations On A Paper Plane In Flight," by Asian-American art collective MSCHF, will be on view from February 20-22.
