According to a December 29, 1989 article from the Washington Post, the Protetch-Rivkin Gallery was founded by Max Protetch and Harold Rivkin in 1969 when the two were "bored graduate students at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University....As students Protetch, Rivkin and another pal had spent many a weekend speeding to and from Manhattan, where they would soak up the minimalist and conceptualist work that was all the rage in the late '60s. Their talk bemoaning its absence from the Washington scene produced action in the form of the little gallery on 33rd Street, which became headquares south for these art movements, exhibiting work by New York art stars such as Sol LeWitt, Vito Acconci and Joseph Kosuth...Everybody wanted to show in Washington...we were more like a new market than competition."

The artists included in this catalogue are: Vito Acconci, Siah Armajani, Mel Bochner, Ian Burn, Mel Ramsden, James Lee Byers, Joanne Caring, Don Corrigan, Gene Davis, William Denner, Jan Dibbets, Walter Folger, Dan Graham, Craig Kaufman, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Ed McGowin, N.E.Thing Co., and Ian Wilson.
