Publisher's Synopsis
A man with a preternatural ability to find emerging artists, Richard Bellamy was one of the first advocates of pop art, minimalism and conceptual art. The founder and director of the fabled Green Gallery on Fifty-Seventh Street, the witty, poetry-loving art lover became a legend of the avant-garde, showing the work of artists such as Mark di Suvero, Claes Oldenburg, James Rosenquist, Donald Judd and others. Based on decades of research and hundreds of interviews with artists, friends, dealers and lovers, Judith Stein's 'Eye of the Sixties' recovers the elusive Bellamy and tells the story of a counterculture that became the mainstream.
