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][2]
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.[3] 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.[4][5]
Lew's work was included in the 1976 exhibition "Rooms" at MoMA[6] and their 1971 "Brooklyn Bridge Event".[7] His work is included in the institution's permanent collection.[8]
