The John Gibson Gallery was a contemporary art gallery in New York City, in operation from November 1967 to 2000, and founded by John Gibson [Wikidata].^[1] Early on, the gallery specialized in selling contemporary monumental–sized sculptures.^[2]

History[edit]

Precursor[edit]

The Park Place Gallery in New York became a center of attention for the downtown art scene and their original gallery members were all of the cutting edge.^[3] John Gibson was the first director of Park Place Gallery from 1963 to 1965.^[4] By 1966, the SoHo neighborhood of New York City had a growing artist community, and had revolutionized what was possible for young artists.^[5]

John Gibson Gallery[edit]

John Gibson later opened his own gallery in 1967, in the neighborhood of Lenox Hill.^[6] Gibson was aided in running the John Gibson Gallery by his wife, Susan Gibson.^[7] The John Gibson Gallery held its first group exhibition on November 1967, The Hanging, Floating, Cantilever Show.^[6] The first exhibition featured installation art by Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, Kenneth Snelson, Christo, Robert Morris, Forrest Myers, and Sol LeWitt.^[6] By 1972, the gallery moved locations to 392 West Broadway in Soho.

John Gibson Gallery closed in 2000,^[1] and Gibson died on March 1, 2019.^[1] The John Gibson Gallery has work in public collections such as the Harvard Art Museums.^[8]

Artists[edit]

The gallery is primarily known for the Minimalist, land art, arte povera, conceptual artists and European artists it has represented and whose careers it helped launch.
