Hal Bromm Gallery/Tribeca will present “Vintage East Village”, a group exhibition curated by Rick Prol featuring vintage 1980's works by more than fifty trend-setting artists who helped shape the legendary East Village art movement. The exhibition will open January 20, 2005 and continue through April 29, 2005.
“Vintage East Village”, featuring vintage works by over fifty artists, highlights the spirit and energy that put the East Village on the “Art History map”.
Hal Bromm was an early champion of many of the area’s most significant artists who helped create the raucous, culturally-charged East Village scene. Instrumental in bringing attention to their work, Bromm’s gallery was one of the first to show David Wojnarowicz, Luis Frangella, John Fekner, Rick Prol, Mark Kostabi and many others. Keith Haring’s first one-person exhibition in New York was at Hal Bromm in 1981.

Bromm helped to draw attention to the growing East Village movement in 1984 with “Climbing”, a major group exhibition with works by 25 artists. “Climbing” presented fresh, exciting and innovative new art by many rising stars, including Kiki Smith, David Wojnarowicz, Luis Frangella, Judy Glantzman, Walter Robinson, Mike Bidlo, and Martin Wong.

In 1984, Carlo McCormick wrote that “Climbing” was “a search for the most promising of the lot…looking at a few trees in the forest”. In 2005, Vintage East Village provides a new view of that forest 20 years later.
