The venue, home to the gallery 2B, was here from 1986 and was demolished in 1995 to make way for the residential building The Villager and a Duane Reade.
On Dec. 21, musicians taking part in Ghost Band Plays Ghost Venues (see EVG link below) marched in the aisles of the Duane Reade to pay respects to the Gas Station.

Gas Station, CBGB's and Adam Purple's "Garden of Eden" were the most remarkable East Village icons that represented the spirit of the day. In the scheme of things, they existed for a brief moment in time, but they were certainly memorable.
I remember that gas station on the corner, but I thought that the sculptures on display there were made by the artist Johnny Swing who is still making artwork up in Vermont.
