Mr. Neri was part of the lively Beat scene in San Francisco in the 1950s and early ’60s. In 1954 he and a group of other artists established the Six Gallery, housed in a former automobile repair shop on Fillmore Street. Mr. Neri was the director of the gallery when a landmark poetry reading took place there in 1955: Allen Ginsberg giving the first public recitation of his masterpiece, “Howl.”
