Independent and the Los Angeles-based nonprofit Contemporary Art Library are pleased to announce the launch of the first installment of The New York Gallery History Project. Supported through the partnership’s fundraising efforts, this free initiative gives open and searchable access to an online archive of important New York City exhibitions by key galleries and artist-run spaces that are no longer in operation, from the 1980s to today. The first installment presents the archive of Jay Gorney Modern Art and includes over 90 exhibitions that took place from 1985 until its closure in 1998, making images of these significant shows accessible for the first time.
