The death has been announced of highly influential gallerist Marian Goodman.

Goodman started her art career in the 1960s dealing in artist editions, and opened her eponymous gallery in New York in 1977. It was a desire to gain representation for the European artist Marcel Broodthaers that prompted the creation of the gallery, and Goodman would go on to work with a remarkable roster of mostly non-American artists.

The gallery expanded to Paris in 1995 and Los Angeles in 2023, and notably moved its New York headquarters to Tribeca’s historic Grosvenor building in 2024.

Today the Gallery represents over fifty US and international artists and estates including Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Maurizio Cattelan, Rineke Dijkstra, Pierre Huyghe, Steve McQueen, Gabriel Orozco, Thomas Schütte, Tino Sehgal, Thomas Struth, and Danh Vo.

The gallery’s story will continue under the current partnership team of Rose Lord, Junette Teng, Emily-Jane Kirwan, and Leslie Nolen.
