The Real Estate Show was a Colab sponsored illegal occupation exhibition on the subject of landlord speculation in real estate〔() The Real Estate Show Manifesto or Statement of Intent Committee for the Real Estate Show, 1980〕 held on New Year's Eve in January 1980 in a vacant city-owned building at 123 Delancey Street in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The squatter action followed a year of long and frustrating campaigning to rent the property for an exhibition space from officials of the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).〔Julie Ault. ''Alternative Art, New York, 1965-1985'' University of Minnesota Press, 2002: p.217.〕 On New Year's Day the show was officially opened to the public. It was to be a two-week occupation/exhibit but was closed down by the police. On the morning of January 2, the Colab artists discovered the storefront padlocked from the inside, their work locked within. Phone calls revealed it to be the doing of HPD. The Real Estate Show had been open exactly one day.〔Carlo McCormick, ''The Downtown Book: The New York Art Scene, 1974–1984'', Princeton University Press, 2006〕 On January 8, the artists, accompanied by art dealer Ronald Feldman and German conceptual artist Joseph Beuys assembled at the site to protest its closing in the company of reporters from the New York Times, Soho News, and the East Village Eye.〔() The Real Estate Show By Lehmann Weichselbaum, East Village Eye, 1980〕 On January 11 city workers swept into 123 Delancey, cleared out the exhibited work and trucked it to an uptown warehouse. It was not until a few days later that artists were granted entry into the warehouse to take their art back home.〔() The Real Estate Show By Lehmann Weichselbaum, East Village Eye, 1980〕 On January 16 a deal was reached with the city that gave birth to ABC No Rio when, as a compromise, a city agency gave the artists control of nearby 156 Rivington Street.〔(The Formation of ABC NO RIO )〕 ==The Real Estate Show Revisited== In early 2014, there were four concurrent art exhibitions in New York City around The Real Estate Show: at James Fuentes Gallery, ABC No Rio, the Lodge Gallery, and Cuchifritos Gallery/Essex Street Market.〔() The Real Estate Show Revisited〕〔() Article on James Fuentes Gallery show "Real Estate Show, Then...And Now"〕〔() “The Real Estate Show” Slideshow and Commentary〕〔() Putting the ‘No’ in ‘Nostalgia’ by Robert C.
