| Gallery Information | |
Mary Boone Gallery was founded 1977 in New York. From the first space in Soho to the current locations on Fifth Avenue and Chelsea, the gallery has been committed to the work of contemporary artists.
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, in addition to representing New York-based artists, the gallery pioneered a European program. Intermittent historical shows - works by Marcel Broodthaers, Dan Flavin, Roy Lichtenstein, Agnes Martin, Francis Picabia, Clyfford Still - helped to correlate new art with its precedents.
As this century began, the gallery found itself solidly backing the artists who had matured along with it. To engage a new generation, the VIEW series of exhibitions was established, in which an artist or curator is invited to use the gallery as a Kunsthalle or project space.
In addition to artists long associated with the gallery - Ross Bleckner, Eric Fischl, Barbara Kruger, David Salle - the gallery now represents established artists Barry Le Va and Keith Sonnier alongside emerging artists Brian Alfred, Andy Collins, Jay Davis, Chie Fueki, Jacob Hashimoto, Aleksandra Mir, and contemporary Chinese artists Ai Weiwei and Liu Xiaodong. Mary Boone Gallery is active in the secondary market of artists vital to its history, such as Richard Artschwager, Jean Michel Basquiat, Brice Marden, and Julian Schnabel. |
