""It is among the artists whose work I like that I have found the qualities I value from my own experience: a humanistic concern, a culture-critical sense of our way of life, a dialectical approach to reality, and an artistic vision about civic life,""
""Marian Goodman was a titan for contemporary art,""
""Her program was rigorous, perfectly presented, and consistently informing.""
""She had a manner about her that didn't allow a lot of compromise,""
Marian Goodman died in Los Angeles at age 97 after a six-decade career as a leading art dealer. She discovered, nurtured, and championed challenging contemporary artists including Gerhard Richter, John Baldessari, Lawrence Weiner, Maurizio Cattelan, Julie Mehretu, Tacita Dean, Andrea Fraser, Pierre Huyghe, and Tino Sehgal. Her gallery operated from West 57th Street in Manhattan with branches in London and Paris, and her artists were routinely featured by major museums in the United States and Europe. She received France's Commandeur of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (2023) and the Légion of Honor (2013). She launched the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York in 1977 at age 49 after running an editions business for 15 years and maintained tight control over the gallery.
