Jeffrey Lew

Jeffrey Lew (Born 1946 ^[1] ) was an American visual artist and one of the co-founders of White Columns and Greene St. Recording at 112 Greene Street. As a visual artist he is known for having been a minimalist sculptor as well as an Installation artist. ^{[2] [3]}

In 1968 Lew purchased the building at 112 Greene Street which is where the art gallery White Columns opened as an alternative exhibition venue and performance space. ^[4] Lew co-founded the gallery with fellow artists Gordon Matta-Clark and Alan Saret. White Columns survives today as New York City's oldest alternative non-profit art space in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan. ^{[5] [6]}

Lew's work was included in the 1976 exhibition "Rooms" at MoMA ^[7] and their 1971 "Brooklyn Bridge Event". ^[8] His work is included in the institution's permanent collection. ^[9]
