Timeline
Marian Goodman (born 1928) is owner of the Marian Goodman Gallery, a contemporary art gallery opened in Manhattan, New York in 1977.
Goodman has been called one of the most respected and influential gallerists of contemporary art in the world.
She is known for introducing European artists like Gerhard Richter, Joseph Beuys, and Marcel Broodthaers to the United States and has represented a number of important artists including Steve McQueen, Thomas Struth, Pierre Huyghe, Thomas Schütte, Lothar Baumgarten, Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, Tacita Dean, Christian Boltanski, Annette Messager, Chantal Akerman, Niele Toroni, Gabriel Orozco, Maurizio Cattelan, Giuseppe Penone, Giovanni Anselmo, Jeff Wall, Rineke Dijkstra, and William Kentridge.
In 1956, Goodman was one of a group of mothers who successfully battled Robert Moses when he tried to expand the parking lot at Tavern on the Green, forcing him to build a playground instead.
Her father, Maurice P. Geller, a first-generation Hungarian-American accountant, collected art, particularly that of Milton Avery.
Goodman, became an art dealer as a new divorcée who needed to support herself and two children.
In 1962, she organized a book of cheap prints of New York paintings to raise funds for the Walden School, where her children were students.
In 1963, Goodman attended graduate school in art history at Columbia University.
She was the only woman in her class.
Goodman and partners opened Multiples, dealing in artists’ editions, in 1965.
Multiples published prints, multiples, and books by American artists, such as Richard Artschwager, John Baldessari, Dan Graham, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Smithson, and Andy Warhol.
Marian Goodman gained prominence in the art world in the 1970s and 1980s, a time when few women worked in this sector.
Born Marian Geller, Goodman grew up on the Upper West Side and attended the Little Red School House and Emerson College.
In 1970, the year Multiples exhibited for the first time at Art Basel, Goodman published Artists and Photographs, a 19-piece portfolio exploring the way artists such as Ed Ruscha, Christo, and Bruce Nauman were incorporating photography into their work.
Multiples also operated a space on La Cienega Boulevard on the Westside of Los Angeles for two years in the 1970s.
Goodman's failure to secure Broodthaers an outlet in New York was the impetus behind her decision to open her own gallery featuring his work as the initial exhibition.
Goodman opened the Marian Goodman Gallery on East Fifty-seventh Street in 1977.
(Unfortunately, Broodthaers died before the opening).
In 1981, she moved the gallery to its present quarters, at 24 West Fifty-seventh Street.
She later discovered Lothar Baumgarten when she hired him to hang the gallery's display at a Düsseldorf art fair.
Marian Goodman Gallery opened its first space in Paris in 1995.
In 1999, a permanent exhibition space was opened inside the Hôtel de Montmor, a 17th-century hotel particulier in the Marais district.
In 2014, the gallery opened an outpost in London, located in an 11000 sqft space over two floors inside a former factory warehouse at Golden Square; the architect David Adjaye renovated the space.
In 2018, Goodman celebrated her 90th birthday at the palace and gardens of Versailles.
In 2022, Goodman appointed Emily-Jane Kirwan, Rose Lord, Leslie Nolen, Junette Teng and Philipp Kaiser as partners in the Marian Goodman Gallery.
The gallery also established an advisory committee of five longtime staff members to support the partners.
Also in 2022, the gallery announced that it would expand to Los Angeles by 2023, taking over a 13000 sqft warehouse campus from the 1920s in Hollywood, designed by architectural firm Johnston Marklee & Associates and located at 1120 Seward Street.
In 2023, the gallery announced to relocate its New York space to 385 Broadway, occupying two floors of gallery space totalling 30000 sqft.
Goodman has stated that she believes a dealer should be committed to working with an artist for fifteen to twenty years.
As of 2023, the gallery mostly represents non-American artists, including:
Kentridge, Struth and Orozco, like most of Goodman's artists, joined her relatively early in their careers.
One exception is Richter, who had three exhibitions with Sperone Westwater before deciding to show simultaneously there and with Goodman.
After several years of this joint arrangement, he dropped the original gallery.
Goodman also represents American artists, including:
In addition to living artists, Marian Goodman Gallery also handles the estates of the following:
Marian Goodman Gallery has in the past also represented the following artists:
Goodman's friend German theorist and critic Benjamin H. D. Buchloh says, “Her judgment is ultimately aesthetic, but she has a broad understanding of what a privileged existence allows and requires one to do.
Her gallery has a certain subtle social horizon of responsibility.” In an article in the New Yorker, art critic Peter Schjeldahl said "Goodman may be the most respected contemporary dealer in New York, for her taste, standards, and loyalty to her artists."
At the end of 2020, Goodman announced the London space would close due to the impacts of Brexit and COVID-19 and be replaced by a new initiative, Marian Goodman Projects, that has been conducting exhibits at other locations throughout the city since 2021.
