Tenth Street Days: The Co-ops of the 1950's/ an artist-initiated exhibition

$225.00

Catalog of an exhibition held in New York Dec 20, 1977-Jan 7, 1978 tracking the earlier activities of eight artist-run or cooperative galleries clustered on East 10th Street, published by Education, Art, & Service, Inc. in 1977. According to Dore Ashton, who wrote the introduction and held a salon in the center of the cluster, these eight co-ops--Tanager, Hansa, James, Camino, March, Brata, Phoenix, and Area, helped extend a milieu, created by the Abstract Expressionists, in which the discussion, practice and diffusion of art was a natural activity, and in which the modern tradition was refreshed with untrammeled experiment. Features work by a host of artists, including Sidney Geist, Lester Johnson, Tom Wesselman, Richard Stankiewicz, Mark de Suvero, Red Grooms, Allan Kaprow, Wolf Kahn, Alice Neel, Leon Polk Smith, George Sugarman, Yayoi Kusama, Daphne Mumford, and Lilly Brody. 72 pages, 4to, wrappers, with black-and-white images throughout. With a typed and signed letter laid in from Joellen Bard, the Co-ordinator of the Association of Artist-Run Galleries, and curator and catalog editor of the exhibition. Light rubbing and chipping to extremities.
