FlatsFixed Gallery opens at 451 West Broadway, the third gallery in SoHo
In 1970 Mark Gabor, a former managing editor at Abrams art books, opened FlatsFixed at 451 West Broadway with Arthur Levin and Paul Margoles, a craftsman who had designed the whimsical space to show off his furniture. It was the third SoHo gallery after Reese Palley and Paula Cooper and showed graphics, prints and multiples. It struggled and closed in 1972. The space later housed Let There Be Neon.
