Evidence

The Park Place Gallery had a precursor, the storefront Kaymar Gallery at 538 West Broadway where, in April 1964, Brian O’Doherty reviewed “the first show of the avant-garde deadpans that have been appearing in uptown galleries” (Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Frank Stella among them). — J. Hoberman, Everything Is Now, 1971
