OK Harris Gallery, Modern art gallery in SoHo, Manhattan, US.
OK Harris Gallery was a modern art space in SoHo located at 383 West Broadway that displayed contemporary works and photography. The venue held approximately 8000 square feet of floor space, making it possible to show five different exhibitions side by side.
Ivan Karp founded the gallery in 1969 after leaving the established Leo Castelli Gallery. It was among the earliest art ventures in SoHo and helped shape the neighborhood into an art destination.
The gallery was deeply rooted in SoHo's art scene and attracted collectors interested in contemporary and emerging work. It became a social hub where artists and art enthusiasts regularly gathered to discuss new pieces.
The space was located in an accessible part of SoHo with good transit connections and pedestrian access. Visitors should plan time to explore since the rotating exhibition schedule changed regularly throughout the year.
The founder chose the name OK Harris because it evoked an American riverboat gambler character from popular culture. This playful selection reflected the creative and somewhat unconventional spirit that defined the space.
