    Gracie Mansion opens her gallery at 337 East 10th Street on an attorney's promise of a year's rent

    Gracie Mansion had staged her early shows in the back of a limousine and in the bathroom of a fifth-floor walk-up on East 9th Street. In 1983 she opened a storefront gallery at 337 East 10th Street after an attorney she met in the neighborhood agreed to cover a year's rent. He never had to pay, since the gallery was almost immediately profitable. Sur Rodney Sur joined as her partner that year, and the gallery moved to 167 Avenue A in 1984.
