Between Land and Sea: Artists of the Coenties Slip brought together examples of the early work of Robert Indiana, Chryssa, Ellsworth Kelly, Agnes Martin, Lenore Tawney, and Jack Youngerman. These artists were among a group of intellectuals, writers, filmmakers, and poets who lived and worked during the late 1950s and early 1960s in the old seaport at the lower tip of Manhattan called the Coenties Slip.
Four of Indiana's paintings, Ginkgo (1960), Untitled (1960), Gog (1960–61), and A-1 (1962), were included in the show.
