Two New Books Document Green Gallery's Legacy
Two new publications explore the history of Green Gallery, the influential New York gallery that operated from 1960 to 1965. The books examine the gallery's role in launching the careers of artists such as Andy Warhol and Dan Flavin. A conversation with Erik La Prade, author of one of the books, provides insight into the gallery's impact. The gallery was run by dealer Richard Bellamy, who was known for his keen eye and support of emerging artists. The books compile letters and archival materials that shed light on the gallery's operations and its significance in the 1960s art scene. Karen Bookatz contributes an essay on Warhol and Flavin's early exhibitions at the gallery. The publications aim to preserve the history of a pivotal moment in contemporary art.
