A belief in good art drives this local gallery. Physically removed from the bustling Pioneer Square art scene, the Seattle branch of Winston Wächter Fine Art (theres also an outpost in NYC) spent 2007 showing some exquisite and interesting work that may not have gotten a proper look. For two more days, you can catch Ann Gardners Space, a new body of sculptural art made from pigment-tinted glass, steel, and concrete. What looks at first like ropes of industrial pipe are elegantly snaking, spiraling forms made of Gardners hand-laid glass pieces. Their subtle glints of black, silver, gold, and grey react with the rooms light while suspended, perceptibly and pleasingly changing the mood of this art space. Also still up is Allegory, a group show on psychological tension, featuring work you mightve missed by Julie Cockburn, Tony Scherman, Drew Ernst, Nobuhito Nishigawara, and Hiro Yokose.
