Galleries
In 1969, at the age of 23, Protetch opened his first gallery in Washington, D.C., while a graduate student in political science at Georgetown University.
In 1978, Protetch moved his gallery to New York and began showing architectural drawings. Since that time, Protetch has shown many of architecture's contemporary masters, including Aldo Rossi, Robert Venturi, John Hejduk, Michael Graves, Peter Eisenmann, Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, Tadao Ando, Daniel Libeskind, and Samuel Mockbee. Protetch represented the estates of Frank Lloyd Wright and Erik Gunnar Asplund; has holdings of Louis Kahn, Buckminster Fuller, and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; and has sold the entire estates of Luis Barragán and Aldo Rossi. Protetch also has shown and represented artists who are uniquely engaged with public sculpture, including the late Scott Burton, who has been the greatest artist-proponent of functional sculpture.
In 2010, the gallery was sold to new owners. In 2012 he began dealing art and architecture privately from New York and Santa Fe.

Famous quotes containing the word galleries:
“I have got enough of the old masters! Brown says he has “shook” them, and I think I will shake them, too. You wander through a mile of picture galleries and stare stupidly at ghastly old nightmares done in lampblack and lightning, and listen to the ecstatic encomiums of the guides, and try to get up some enthusiasm, but it won’t come.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
