I'm trying to build an art gallery website using WP, and was wondering if anyone here knows about good themes for that with a professional minimalistic look & feel. It is NOT an ecommerce site.
Eaxmples of websites that inspire me are:

http://www.gagosian.com/
Thanks!
You have probably found what you are looking for by now, but in my explorations for something similar I found these:
"AutoFocus" by Allen Cole. It's simple and easy to modify. I'm using it for photography at http://www.e-livingston.com and have had success with it. Check it out at http://allancole.com/wordpress/themes/autofocus/. Allen is very kind about answering questions.
Even more minimalist are these "Photo Nexus" and "Photo Scroll" themes from Theme Forest (http://themeforest.net/item/photo-nexus-wordpress-gallery-2-in-1/38530) ($20). Each theme has both a white and black background version.
The David Zwirner example you like isn't a WordPress theme. A similar traditional Web site template to that is this "Animated Portfolio" theme: http://themeforest.net/item/animated-portfolio-template/16968 ($12).
hi artsmo,
great site at livingstone.com. i'm a photographer and i've just installed allan cole's autofocus and loving it. i was just wondering how you got the thumbnail index page? i've looked everywhere but just can't figure out how to do it! hope you can help!
