Sad news from friends Jenny and Charlie: Robert Clark, operator of recently closed East Village gallery 23Project, whose holdings included a Basquiat sketchbook, Stockhausen music boxes and works by aktionist Hermann Nitsch, passed away on Saturday, June 21. A service will be held at La Muse—where he could often be found—on Monday.
