In 1977, the gallery relocated to its current location at 90 West Broadway.[4] Hal Bromm Gallery features contemporary art by sculptors, painters, photographers and installation artists. Early on, the gallery featured works by Rosemarie Castoro, Krzysztof Wodiczko, David Salle, Robert Longo, Joe Zucker, among others.[5] Bromm presented Keith Haring’s first solo exhibition in 1981.[6] In the early 1980s, Bromm opened a second gallery at 170 Avenue A in New York's East Village.
