History

John Gibson was the first director of Park Place Gallery in 1963, and later opened his own gallery in 1967. By 1966, SoHo had a growing artist community, and had revolutionized what was possible for young artists. The original gallery members were all of the cutting edge. Attracting funding from the Lannan Foundation and private collectors, and with John Gibson and later Paula Cooper as directors, Park Place became a center of attention for the downtown art scene.
