Spencer Brownstone Gallery is thrilled to announce the grand opening of our new Lower East Side location with Olivier Mosset’s 1107 Pt.II, an exhibition revisiting Greenpoint’s legendary 1107 Manhattan Avenue studio space.
1107 Manhattan Ave was first leased by artist and writer Michael Corris and Olivier Mosset in the 1980s. It served as workshop and sometimes home to artists including Steven Parrino and Virginia Overton. The works that came out of this shared space helped to usher in a new wave of Brooklyn artists, and taken together represent a vestige of the New York City art world of the period. Now a local coffee shop, the studio once fostered a community of talent that went on to make a significant mark on contemporary art.
