“They said it wouldn’t last” Exhibition
Howard Scott Gallery
This event has ended.
Howard Scott Gallery presents gallery's 25th Anniversary Exhibition: "They said it wouldn't last". Eleven artists will participate in this exhibition, each represented by work not seen previously in public.
Reaching a twenty-fifth anniversary as a gallerist entirely focused on, and dedicated to, the work of both mid-career artists and those just beginning to have public exposure is perhaps analogous to scaling Mount Everest and is certainly cause for celebration.
When Howard Scott prepared to open his first art gallery in the fall of 1983 in the East Village, while that neighborhood was in full bloom as an alternative location (to SoHo) for galleries showing younger artists' work, he was greatly surprised when more than one member of New York's visual arts community said of him that there was little chance his gallery could survive - because this was a profession in which Afro-Americans in New York at that time were not involved, and how could he hope to develop a supportive and sufficiently large clientele.
