Featured in The New York Times' list of "The 25 Sculptures That Define the Modern Age," was the 1968 Benefit for the Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam, the first show at New York’s Paula Cooper Gallery. A pivotal moment in the history of minimalist sculpture, the exhibition included works by Will Insley as well as Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt and Dan Flavin.
"The benefit at Paula Cooper was not only the gallery’s first show, but the first in SoHo, the neighborhood that would become, until the end of the 20th century, the center of the New York art world."
In 2018, Paula Cooper Gallery held its fiftieth anniversary exhibition entitled, 50 Years: An Anniversary, A Benefit Exhibition for March For Our Lives. The exhibition included Will Insley’s Wall Fragment 66.4 (1966-67) on loan from Westwood Gallery NYC as well as other 1960s artworks by Carl Andre, Jo Baer, Robert Barry, Bill Bollinger, Dan Flavin, Robert Huot, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Robert Murray, Doug Ohlson, and Robert Ryman.
