Not to be confused with the Flatiron Building, originally named the Fuller Building. The Fuller Building is an office skyscraper in Manhattan located at 41 East 57th Street on the corner of Madison Avenue. It was built for the Fuller Construction Company in 1929 after they moved from the Flatiron Building. The building was designed by Walker & Gillette in the Art Deco style, although in a very conservative fashion.[1] The building's exterior features architectural sculpture by Elie Nadelman, and the interior has richly decorated vestibules and lobbies featuring marble walls, bronze detailing, and mosaic floors.[1] Christopher Gray wrote in The New York Times about the building that "[i]t was built in 1929 as a jazz-age testament to the emerging commercial chic of 57th Street,"[2] while the AIA Guide to New York City calls it "[t]he Brooks Brothers of Art Deco: black, gray and white."[3]The building was designated a New York City Landmark in 1986.[1] Art galleriesThe Fuller Building is known for housing a number of New York's most important galleries including David Benrimon Fine Art, Nailya Alexander Gallery, DAG Modern, Tom Gitterman Gallery, Howard Greenberg Gallery, David Findlay Jr. Gallery, Katharina Rich Perlow Gallery, Jason McCoy Inc Gallery, Zabriskie Gallery, Andrew Crispo Gallery (closed), André Emmerich Gallery (closed), Robert Miller Gallery (moved), Charles Egan Gallery (closed), David McKee Gallery (moved), and the pioneering Pierre Matisse Gallery (closed), Lee Witkin Gallery (closed), amongst others. Although several galleries have either moved or closed, many newer ones, such as the Jason McCoy Gallery (11th floor), Hirschl & Adler (9th floor) or Auctionata, the online auction house, have taken their place.
