The Park Place Gallery in New York became a center of attention for the downtown art scene and their original gallery members were all of the cutting edge.[3] John Gibson was the first director of Park Place Gallery from 1963 to 1965.[4] By 1966, the SoHo neighborhood of New York City had a growing artist community, and had revolutionized what was possible for young artists.[5]

John Gibson later opened his own gallery in 1967, in the neighborhood of Lenox Hill.[6] Gibson was aided in running the John Gibson Gallery by his wife, Susan Gibson.[7] The John Gibson Gallery held its first group exhibition on November 1967, The Hanging, Floating, Cantilever Show.[6] The first exhibition featured installation art by Donald Judd, Andy Warhol, Kenneth Snelson, Christo, Robert Morris, Forrest Myers, and Sol LeWitt.[6] By 1972, the gallery moved locations to 392 West Broadway in Soho.

John Gibson Gallery closed in 2000,[1] and Gibson died on March 1, 2019.[1] The John Gibson Gallery has work in public collections such as the Harvard Art Museums.[8]
