Gladstone Gallery

History

In 1980, Gladstone gave up teaching art history at Hofstra University to open an art gallery in Manhattan,[3] where she began showing Jenny Holzer.[4]

From 1989 to 1992, Gladstone Gallery collaborated with Christian Stein, an Italian art gallerist, on SteinGladstone. Located in a renovated firehouse at 99 Wooster Street in Soho, the gallery concentrated exclusively on rarely seen installation works by both Italian and American artists.[5]

Gladstone Gallery staged Matthew Barney's first New York solo show in 1991 and has since introduced many international artists to an American audience.[6] Before moving to Chelsea in 1996, the gallery was located in Soho and on 57th Street in New York City. In 1996, the gallery teamed up with two other galleries – Metro Pictures and Matthew Marks Gallery – to acquire and divide up a 29,000 sq ft (2,700 m2) warehouse at 515 West 24th Street.[7] In addition, Gladstone Gallery operates spaces at 530 West 21st Street and at 12 Rue du Grand Cerf in Brussels.[8]

The gallery is also a prominent participant in many major art fairs.[9]

In 2002, Gladstone brought Curt Marcus on as partner for several years.[10][11] In 2020, Gladstone Gallery merged with Gavin Brown's Enterprise and made Gavin Brown a partner.[12]

Since 2018, Gladstone has been serving on the board of the non-profit Artists Space.[13]

Film production

Gladstone has produced many of Matthew Barney's movies, including four films from The Cremaster Cycle and the 2006 movie Drawing Restraint 9,[58] a collaboration between Barney and Björk. Gladstone appears in Drawing Restraint 13, a later film by Barney. Gladstone also produced Shirin Neshat's film Women Without Men.[citation needed]

Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund

In 2008, Gladstone initiated the formation of the Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund at the New Museum, established in honor of her late son and art dealer Stuart Regen.[59] The gift is meant to support a series of public lectures and presentations by cultural visionaries and debuted in 2009 with choreographer Bill T. Jones.[60] It has featured prominent international thinkers in the fields of art, architecture, design and contemporary culture. Past speakers have included Jimmy Wales (2010),[61] Alice Waters (2011),[62] Maya Lin (2013),[63] Hilton Als (2015)[64][65] and Fran Lebowitz (2016, in conversation with Martin Scorsese).[66]

Personal life

Gladstone was married to the late Elliot B. Regen.[67] She has two sons, David and Richard Regen; her third son, Stuart Regen, died in 1998 at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[68] Gladstone has a younger sister, Joan Steinberg.

From 2005 until 2012, Gladstone maintained a residence at 165 Charles Street, a residential tower designed by Richard Meier.[69] She has since moved to a townhouse in Chelsea.[70]
