A.I.R. GALLERY

New York

A.I.R Gallery opened in September 1972 as an alternative space women's co-op gallery. Barbara Zucker and Susan Williams initially recognized the need to establish a women's run gallery and joined with Dotty Attie, Maude Boltz, Mary Grigoriadis, and Nancy Spero to select 14 additional artists to form the initial co-op. A.I.R. Gallery opened at 97 Wooster Street, New York in a narrow space [70' x 21'] that had priviously been a machine shop.
