Critique of white space site requested

I have an art gallery client that I have used as much "white space" (its
hard to for me to use that term when the background isn't white), as
possible.  It seemed appropriate to the product (fine art) to use what I
considered to be a more sophisticated look than what might be seen with a
different product. Many of the ads found in art industry trade journals are
extremely minimal and even austere at times.  In line with the white space
thread, I would appreciate a design critique from this group.  

The site is:

Some of the points made regarding white space have made me reconsider my
approach.

Thanks in advance and for the great input on this topic.
