Painter Dennis Ashbaugh moves into a 67 Greene Street space and begins his Shineys
In 1971 dealer Ileana Sonnabend and Metropolitan Museum curator Henry Geldzahler connected the young painter Dennis Ashbaugh to a space in SoHo. He moved to 67 Greene Street, which could hold his large canvases, and sold his Murray Street loft to the performance artist Laurie Anderson. There he began the Shineys, glass-like fiberglass paintings made with polyester resin, some as large as 120 by 240 inches.
“Ashbaugh then sold his Murray Street loft to performance artist Laurie Anderson and moved to 67 Greene Street, a space capable of accommodating his large paintings.”
