I noticed this in the newest Artforum.

Siebren Versteeg has had it’s inaugural exhibition, but what caught my attention was the photograph of Max Protech sitting on the curb of seventeenth street. That’s Washington DC, by the way. I was also delighted to see the headline for the show taken from the masthead of the old Washington Star. I always forget that 17th street was the hot art center during the 70’s. With Protech, Drysdale, Osuna (then called Pyramid) and Henri all within a block of each other. It’s also interesting to see who has left DC (Baumgartner, Shainman, Protech, plus others I can’t think of).

By the way, Siebren Versteeg is an affiliate of Max Protech.
