New York, New York – July 30, 2025 – Hal Bromm Gallery is pleased to present 50: The View From Tribeca, an exhibition celebrating the Gallery’s 50th anniversary. Founded in 1975, Hal Bromm was the first contemporary gallery to open its doors in Tribeca, a neighborhood that has since become an international hub for contemporary art. On September 19, the gallery will also launch New Art, Old Buildings: Stories From Hal Bromm’s Tribeca, a collection of stories chronicling the 50 year history of the gallery. At 5:30 PM, the gallery will host a short talk with Hal Bromm and the creators of the publication, Logan Payne and Katie Svensson.
50: The View From Tribeca will showcase works by key artists from throughout the gallery’s history, including Alice Adams, Mac Adams, Carlos Alfonzo, Frederic Amat, Andre Cadere, Rosemarie Castoro, Roger Cutforth, Joel Fisher, Jean Foos, Linda Francis, Luis Frangella, Chris Gianakos, Judy Glantzman, Michael Goldberg, Mark Golderman, Robert Goldman, Grace Graupe-Pillard, Keith Haring, Paolo Icaro, Andrew Logan, Peter Logan, Jean-Paul Mallozzi, Natalya Nesterova, Letty Nowak, Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff, Jody Pinto, Vincent Pomilio, Lucio Pozzi, Rick Prol, Eric Rhein, Terry Rosenberg, Lorenza Sannai, Russell, Sharon, Susan Sugar, Joey Tepedino, andDavid Wojnarowicz. Works by these artists will be accompanied by excerpts from the book, which not only complement the visual experience but also weave together the narratives of the artists and the gallery’s storied history.

Throughout the last 50 years, Hal Bromm has remained committed to providing a space which allows artists to present work on their own terms, cultivating a close community of artists and collectors, many of whom have become his lifelong friends and colleagues. Whether out of a loft in Washington Market (the neighborhood now known as Tribeca), or a storefront in the East Village (before it was cool), Bromm has always naturally gravitated to communities that foster the avant garde.
50: The View From Tribeca revisits the works of these artists, honoring their contributions to the gallery, and to contemporary art as a whole: from the post-minimalism of Rosemarie Castoro, to the conceptually driven Arte-Povera works of Lucio Pozzi, to the neo-expressionist works of Joey Tepedino, to the erratic energy of the 80s east village with artists like David Wojnarowicz, Keith Haring, and Carlos Alfonzo. Across style, subject matter, material, and time, these works come together to tell the story of Hal Bromm Gallery’s legacy as a pioneering enterprise within the greater art scene of New York City and beyond.
