Galerie Zuger — Attraction in Santa Fe

If you’re a supporter of grown men who physically intimidate and threaten women and scream and curse at strangers unprovoked, this is the perfect place for you.

Had an extremely similar experience to another reviewer. Went in to admire the art, and made the mistake of taking pictures of some pieces I found fascinating. Older man addressed me very suddenly and rudely, telling me that there were signs “everywhere” to not take photos.

I tried to apologize, saying that I hadn’t seen these signs, and offering to delete the photos. The man instantly became combative and loud, standing up and yelling at me to leave his gallery, which I did (gladly). I lingered in the hallway outside the gallery for a moment to delete the photos from my phone (rather not be reminded of the experience). The man continued to yell at me from within the gallery.

I later caught up with my wife, who went in to tell the man that there was no need to be so cruel to random strangers. He again immediately began yelling and swearing at her, so she left, taking a photo of the name of the gallery. As she was walking down the hallway of the shopping center that housed the gallery in one of its suites, he RAN after her, pointing, yelling and cursing at the top of his lungs to the point that random passers-by and folks in adjacent buildings stopped to see what was happening. I stood between my wife and the man who was charging her and had some choice words for him. He threatened to call the security on us (we were standing on a public sidewalk and had no desire to stay anywhere near him...

There was an older gentleman there who was extremely abrasive. After finding out I wasn’t there to buy anything he just said “Ok, well you’re not allowed to take any pictures” I immediately apologized and said I had no idea (the previous gallery I was on actually TOLD me to take pictures of artists I liked) He goes “Yeah ok. There are signs everywhere”. Which there are not. Just “watch your step” as far as I could see. Then I went to ask him about the art and he dismissed me while walking away to what I’m guessing was a client that was going to buy stuff. This gallery definitely has an uppity elitist attitude so if that’s what you’re into...

This gallery was an amazing visit, the work inside is so detailed and you could easily take half an hour taking in each piece of art at least, with some new detail available to seen with each shift of your gaze. With so many pieces to marvel at, and even more in surrounding rooms, it's easy to put this gallery at the top of my visited art carriers. Alex, the gentleman inside, was certified expressive in the best way possible when he introduced us to the art pieces. He was very well informed and you can see the passion he has for the art pieces with ease. It only amplified the joyous experience. Definitely a place I plan on...
