Paula Cooper
Paula Cooper Gallery, the first art gallery in SoHo, opened in 1968 with an exhibition to benefit the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam — including works by Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Robert Mangold, and Robert Ryman, as well as Sol LeWitt's first wall drawing. For over fifty years the gallery's agenda has remained focused on, though not limited to, conceptual and minimal art, representing artists from Jennifer Bartlett and Elizabeth Murray to Sophie Calle, Cecily Brown, and Sam Durant. In 1996 it moved to Chelsea, into an award-winning 19th-century building redesigned by Richard Gluckman, and continues to host performances, concerts, and readings alongside exhibitions.
