CHRIS MURRAY, K.S. Art, 83 Leonard Street, TriBeCa, (212)219-9918 (through Feb. 23).
With rulers, pencils and paint and a focus driven in part by autism, Mr. Murray makes detailed, highly ordered yet unfussily immediate pictures of Manhattan buildings looming over busily trafficked streets. The artist, born in 1960, referes to photographs found in books and magazines to reproduce landmarks, like the Empire State Building and the Museum of Natural History, on sheets of paper to which he glues extensions as space reequires (Johnson).
