US-based writer and curator Dr Judith Stein presents her recent publication, Eye of the
Sixties, Richard Bellamy and the Transformation of Modern Art, the first biography of
one of the twentieth century’s most influential and enigmatic art dealers, Dick Bellamy.
At the Green Gallery on Fifty-Seventh Street, NY, Bellamy launched the careers of
today’s iconic Pop, Op and conceptual artists, mavericks and minimalists, including
Yayoi Kusama and Yoko Ono, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, Donald Judd
and Dan Flavin, Mark di Suvero and George Segal.
Bellamy was a beatnik with a legendary eye, an arbiter of the counterculture
movement, operating at the very beginnings of the market for contemporary art.
Published in July 2016, Eye of the Sixties is the result of two decades of research and
hundreds of interviews with Bellamy’s artists, friends, colleagues and lovers in order to
recover the history of this elusive art dealer.
Dr Stein comes to Australia after an extensive US tour.

Keynote Speaker: Dr Judith E. Stein, Writer and Curator

During the early 1960s in New York, the Chinese-American art dealer Richard Bellamy (d. 1998) ran the fabled Green Gallery on Fifty- Seventh Street where he launched the careers of many of today’s iconic Pop, minimalist and maverick artists. In an illustrated talk based on her engrossing biography, Eye of the Sixties, Richard Bellamy and the Transformation of Modern Art, (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2016), Stein brings alive this beatnik with a legendary eye who was the first to show Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, Donald Judd and Dan Flavin, Mark di Suvero and George Segal, as well as Yayoi Kusama’s sculpture and Warhol’s printed money. He even brokered Yoko Ono’s first sale. “There was nobody like Bellamy. I certainly consider myself his pupil,” art dealer Leo Castelli later reflected.

Journey back to the early sixties, to the beginning of the market for contemporary art in New York, when the art dealer and tastemaker Richard Bellamy (1927-98) made history but chose not to make money. At the fabled Green Gallery on Fifty-Seventh Street, Bellamy launched the careers of today’s iconic Pop, Op and conceptual artists, mavericks and minimalists, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist, Donald Judd and Dan Flavin, Mark di Suvero and George Segal. Join Judith Stein as she brings alive a posterity-averse beatnik with a legendary eye, a tale that unfolds as postmodernism elbowed the past aside.

Jack Flam, President and CEO of the Dedalus Foundation, and Judith Stein, author of the cultural biography, Eye of the Sixties, Richard Bellamy and the Transformation of Modern Art, will discuss Donald Judd and Yayoi Kusama within the context of the artists shown at Green Gallery between 1960 and 1965. Founded and operated by Richard Bellamy at 15 West 57th Street, the gallery was important for Judd, Kusama, and many of their contemporaries. While Bellamy exhibited work by both artists, Judd’s first introduction to the space was as an art critic, in which he reviewed shows in the space beginning in 1960.

Tickets are free and available beginning late September.
