Celebrating 50 years of Marian Goodman Gallery

The Marian Goodman Gallery is celebrating its 50th anniversary, a milestone that underscores its role as a cornerstone of contemporary art. Founded in 1977, the gallery has consistently introduced fresh talent and elevated conceptual art during a time when the art world was often overlooked by asset managers.

As the gallery prepares to move to a larger location in the TriBeCa neighborhood, this exhibition serves as both a retrospective and a forward-looking statement about its impact on the art community. The gallery has played a crucial role in nurturing emerging artists while honoring its rich legacy, making this anniversary a fitting occasion to celebrate its commitment to artistic innovation.
