    PhillipsX is pleased to present Never Above 14th Street: a downtown NYC art show which honors and celebrates the vibrant art scene of Downtown New York City in the 1980s and 1990s. Out of the intoxicating blend of low rent, open space, artistic community, and a freewheeling atmosphere that defined Downtown during this time, this generation of Artists emerged with unprecedented energy. As artist collectives such as Fashion Moda and Colab formed, along with night club and gallery spaces such as Wednesday at A’s, The Mudd Club, and Club 57, so too did inspired young gallerists such as Patti Astor, Bill Stelling, Gracie Mansion, Barry Blinderman, Hal Bromm, and many others. There, in awkward, run down and often tiny storefronts, art galleries exhibited names such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Martin Wong, Keith Haring, Futura, Crash, Lady Pink, David Wojnarowicz, Dondi White, and Mike Bidlo, among others, long before they became Cultural Icons and Art History.
