"It's her bravery which allowed her to succeed,"
"This is a woman in an environment where there weren't a lot of women doing what she did. She was 5-foot-1. She had to put on a lot of armor, and I imagine there were some times when it was difficult to take it off. But she would die for artists. She was a warrior."
"I grew up understanding the power of art to profoundly touch one's being,"
"everyone was looking in the wrong direction,"
Marian Goodman died of natural causes in Los Angeles on January 22 at age ninety-seven. She founded Marian Goodman Gallery nearly fifty years ago and played a crucial role in reshaping the New York and U.S. contemporary art scenes by introducing major European artists to America. Early champions included Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Pierre Huyghe, Anselm Kiefer, and Gerhard Richter. She was one of only a handful of women dealers in a male-dominated field and became known for bravery, loyalty, and passionate advocacy for challenging, cutting-edge artists. Her roster included Giuseppe Penone, Tino Sehgal, and Maurizio Cattelan, whose Comedian sold for $6.2 million at auction.
