Martin Honert’s ‘Gang’ at Matthew Marks Gallery

Known for meticulously hand-making sculptures inspired by his childhood drawings, German artist Martin Honert’s ‘Gang’ from 2002 accompanies new work at Matthew Marks Gallery in Chelsea.  Do the cheeky boys with the shifty eyes exist just in the bigger boy’s imagination?  Or is that bike really in danger of disappearing?  (At Matthew Marks’ 502 West 22nd Street space through Oct 26th).
