112 greene street


David Zwirner takes a look back at 112 Greene Street, "one of New York’s first alternative, artist-run venues. Instigated by the artist Jeffrey Lew in October 1970 in close collaboration with Gordon Matta-Clark and Alan Saret, among others, the building became a focal point for a young generation of artists seeking a substitute to New York’s established gallery circuit,
then concentrated in Midtown
and the Upper East Side."
