Gary Renaud was among a group of photographers associated with the Underground Gallery, one of the earliest photography venues in New York City. The 40-foot gallery was founded and operated by Norbert Kleber, a photographer who maintained the space at 51 East 10th Street with the proceeds from his day job as a camera salesman. Renaud's work was featured in the gallery in the mid-1960s.
