History

Matthew Marks worked for the Pace Gallery in New York City and Anthony d'Offay in London prior to opening his own gallery.[32]

After working for three years at d'Offay, Marks moved back to New York City to open his own gallery, a 1,000 square feet (93 m2) space on Madison Avenue.[33] The Matthew Marks Gallery had its first exhibition, Artists' Sketchbooks, in February 1991, including Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Jackson Pollock, and Cy Twombly.[34]

Matthew Marks Gallery opened its first space in Chelsea — a converted single-story garage with skylights at 522 West 22nd Street[35] — in 1994, with a show of Ellsworth Kelly.[36] In 1996, the gallery teamed up with two other galleries – Gladstone Gallery and Metro Pictures – to acquire and divide up a 29,000 sq ft (2,700 m2) warehouse at 515 West 24th Street.[37] By 1997, the gallery closed its space on Madison Avenue. Over the following years, two more spaces in Chelsea were added.[38]

Since 1998, Matthew Marks Gallery and another gallery—first Pat Hearn Gallery (1998), later Greene Naftali Gallery (2008, 2018)—have organized "Painting: Now and Forever", a large-scale, ongoing survey of contemporary painting, every 10 years.[39]

In 2012, Matthew Marks Gallery opened two locations in West Hollywood, Los Angeles,[40] both designed by Peter Zellner.[41]

Marks is married to Jack Bankowsky, a former editor of Artforum magazine and art critic and curator.[42]

The Armory Show

In 1994, the Gramercy International Art Fair, now called The Armory Show, made its debut in New York's Gramercy Park Hotel.[43] Four dealers and gallerists, Pat Hearn, Colin de Land, Matthew Marks and Paul Morris, worked together to bring in a younger generation of downtown artists who were working through the recession that plagued the 1980s.[44] Mark Dion's Lemonade Stand (1996), Andrea Fraser’s Museum Highlights: A Gallery Talk (1989), May I Help You (1991), and Renée Green’s The Pigskin Library (1990) debuted at the art fair.[45]
