Tribute Exhibition: Gertrude Stein (1927–2026): NYC Gallerist

WESTWOOD GALLERY NYC presents Tribute Exhibition: Gertrude Stein (1927-2026), NYC Gallerist, in honor of the New York gallerist who supported the work of the NO!artists and other experimental creatives. During the planning of Downtown Rebellion in the main gallery, gallerist Gertrude Stein passed away at the age of 98. Cavello subsequently incorporated this tribute exhibition examining her gallery’s role in presenting politically and socially engaged art during the 1960s and beyond. The installation includes additional works, photographs, and archival material documenting exhibitions at Gallery: Gertrude Stein, along with personal items from Stein’s collection.
