Final days to see LEE BROZGOL 1977–1981—an exhibition that returns the artist’s paintings to the lost world that shaped them.
In a West Village long since transformed, ghosts linger in brick, beam, and shadow. In this show, history isn’t just context, it’s material.
On view through July 13 at 150 Barrow Street, New York, NY
With gratitude to Alex Meurice of Foreign & Domestic and the Estate of Lee Brozgol for their support in bringing this project to life.
Now on view — LEE BROZGOL 1977–1981
The exhibition brings together seven previously unseen paintings made at the close of a vanished New York—erotic, violent, sacred and profane.
Installed inside the former Keller Hotel, once home to the city’s oldest leather bar, the show unfolds in dialogue with the long-erased Christopher Street Piers just beyond its walls.
Grateful to Alex Meurice of Foreign & Domestic and to the artist’s estate—Alizah, Fury and Royal—whose trust and support made this possible.
Open Wed–Sun, 12–7pm, through June 15
150 Barrow Street, NYC

Opening May 7, 12-7pm—150 Barrow Street
LEE BROZGOL 1977–1981 brings together seven never-before-seen paintings from an early, incandescent period in the late artist’s practice. Made between 1977 and 1981, these works chart a vanished New York—erotic and violent, sacred and profane—across personal and mythic registers. Installed inside the former Keller Hotel—once home to Keller’s, the city’s oldest leather bar—the presentation unfolds in dialogue with the lost site of the Christopher Street Piers, Manhattan’s iconic queer sanctuary, just beyond the exhibition’s walls.
Organized in collaboration with Foreign & Domestic and the estate of Lee Brozgol.

*tap tap...this thing still on?
Today, RAMMELLZEE: Racing For Thunder is finally out in stores.
This book is the culmination of a project that began as a retrospective in 2018. The last couple of years haven’t been easy—between the closing of Red Bull Arts, switching publishers, and navigating a global pandemic—I owe alot to the many hands who have guided this project along the way.
First, massive thanks to the estate of Rammellzee—you took a chance on us and have been amazing collaborators throughout. Your trust and stewardship of Ramm’s legacy has been crucial.
To the curatorial team—Carlo McCormick, Candice Strongwater, Jeff Mao, and Christian Omodeo—your dedication and expertise truly charted new territory in Ramm's scholarship.
To the entire Red Bull Arts crew—from the front offices to the architects, designers, exhibition management, and gallery staff—I’m beyond grateful for your faith and, at times, masochistic support of an exhibition that was never short on ambition or costs.
To the lenders who entrusted us with their works and research, to the friends and family who contributed their memories and insights, this project is a reflection of you and this community who believed in Ramm from the very beginning. It was an honor to work with every single one of you.
Big love to Erin Knuston on design, and Kenta Murakami, Tamalyn Miller and Donna Wingate for the editorial muscle. Alex Behnke and Kirsten Nicholas with the pr hustle.
And laaaaastly, special shout out to @chairmanmaonyc , @cancode , and @therammellzee for sticking with me through it all. Along with @jeffreydeitchgallery , @i_a_v , and the whole team at @rizzolibooks —your support of this project and belief in Rammellzee made this long-overdue monograph a reality. Its been an honor to co-publish this book with such esteemed partners.
