Hal Bromm Gallery invites you to join us this evening for the opening reception of “Outsiders” from 6 to 8 pm. OUTSIDERS features works by three Outsider Artists — Joey Tepedino, David Wojnarowicz, and Larry Stanton — whose practices emerge from deeply personal approaches shaped by lived experience and self-directed creative paths. Through drawing, painting, and mixed media, OUTSIDERS highlights the distinct visual languages that define each artist’s work.
Take a look at Observer’s new article highlighting Hal Bromm’s legacy as Tribeca’s first contemporary gallery.

In the fall of 1991, Rosemarie Castoro and Roger Cutforth were guests at Hal and Don’s home as plans were made to plant daffodil bulbs. Castoro saw an opportunity to create an earth work, an ever-growing triangle of life, an infinitely expanding artwork that would reappear each March. She carefully measured a triangle in the grass, enlisting Cutforth to dig holes along its perimeter, each twelve inches from the next. Since Daffodils naturally multiply, a single bulb in the ground divides herself, giving birth to daughters. over time, many flowers grow from a lone bulb. When the daffodils bloom, the daffodil triangle becomes fuller and richer, expanding the rigidity and perfect structure beyond the borders of its original shape. with each spring, Rosemarie’s work blooms anew, keeping her art and her spirit alive.
Rosemarie Castoro (1939 - 2015) established herself in the late 60s as one of the few well-recognized female painters among the New York Minimalists. Castoro was often overshadowed by men, including her then-husband Carl Andre, and their friends Sol Lewitt, Frank Stella, and Robert Smithson. That shadow has lifted, and today Rosemarie Castoro is one of many women whose art has been recognized and praised for their pioneering works. Castoro’s oeuvre included painting, sculpture, performance, installation and concrete poetry throughout her career. Castoro simultaneously allowed her discoveries in three-dimensions to carry over into her two-dimensional work, both of which were often related. A force of nature herself, Rosemarie Castoro’s legacy and impact are infinite, and Hal Bromm Gallery is honored to uphold this history.
2 Guys with One Red Eye is one of the immersive works in our current exhibition OUTSIDERS by self-taught Pennsylvania artist Joey Tepedino. Known for paintings that function as vast, layered systems — dense with figures, color, and raw psychological energy — Tepedino builds worlds that reward slow, close looking.
Stop by the gallery and see if you can find the details!
OUTSIDERS is on view through May 16th.
David Wojnarowicz was born in Red Bank, New Jersey in 1954. After a turbulent childhood marked by his parents' divorce, he moved to New York City where he attended the High School of Music and Arts in Manhattan. At 17, he ran away from home, first living on the streets, then in a halfway house.
In the 1970s, Wojnarowicz began writing poetry while working at Bookmasters in Times Square. After returning to New York in the 1980s from a brief time in Europe, he emerged as one of the most prominent figures of the east village avant-garde movement. He first became widely recognized for stenciling images of burning houses on the exposed sides of buildings in the East Village, incorporating mixed media, film, photography, and graffiti into a powerful, multidisciplinary practice.
His work took a decisive turn following the death of his lover and mentor, photographer Peter Hujar, from AIDS-related illness in 1987. This loss catalyzed a shift toward explicit activism and political content, with Wojnarowicz addressing the social and legal injustices inherent in the government's response to the AIDS epidemic.
Wojnarowicz died from AIDS-related illness in 1992. In 2018, he was recognized in the retrospective exhibition David Wojnarowicz: History Keeps Me Awake at Night, organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Come see his work in OUTSIDERS, alongside Joey Tepedino and Larry Stanton, at 90 West Broadway. On view until May 16th.
Joey Tepedino is a self-taught artist from Pennsylvania whose work serves as a window into his inner world. Through color, symbols, writing, and patterns, Tepedino creates a visual vocabulary that mirrors his own creative process—energetic bursts fueled by feeling.
His art began as childhood doodles, evolving into large-scale canvases and zines that function as emotional journals. Tepedino describes the work as a way to burst through anxiety, channeling stream-of-consciousness thought directly onto canvas. "It's all mood, how I'm feeling," he explains. "I keep coming back to it, so it's not like I do it all in one shot… it's me just putting my brain onto the canvas."
Come visit his works in OUTSIDERS, Hal Bromm's latest exhibition at 90 West Broadway. Featuring not only Joey Tepedino's work, but also David Wojnarowicz's and Larry Stanton's, until May 16th.
Larry Stanton was a gay painter and portraitist based in Manhattan's Greenwich Village whose work captured a telling picture of New York’s queer art life that was disappearing with the advent of AIDS. In the late 70’s and early 80’s Stanton’s home became a safe haven for young gay runaways. The young men, artists, and writers became models for his intimate portraits.
Come visit his exhibited works in OUTSIDERS, Hal Bromm's new exhibition at 90 West Broadway. Featuring not only Larry Stanton's work, but also David Wojnarowicz's and Joey Tepedino's, until May 16th.
