The 1968 exhibition was organized by Robert Huot, Lucy Lippard and Ron Wolin to benefit the Student Mobilization Committee To End The War In Vietnam and Veterans Against The War In Vietnam. The synthesis of radical political and aesthetic shifts were emerging in the world which resonated in the 1968 exhibition.
The 2018 fiftieth anniversary exhibition included artworks of the period by the 13 artists, Carl Andre, Jo Baer, Robert Barry, Bill Bollinger, Dan Flavin, Robert Huot, Will Insley, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Robert Murray, Doug Ohlson, and Robert Ryman.
The exhibition included Will Insley’s Wall Fragment 66.4 (1966-67) on loan from Westwood Gallery NYC.
