History

Matthew Marks worked for the Pace Gallery in New York City and Anthony d'Offay in London prior to opening his own gallery.[21]

After working for three years at d'Offay, Marks moved back to New York City to open his own gallery, a {{convert|1000|sqft|m2} space on Madison Avenue.[22] The Matthew Marks Gallery had its first exhibition, Artists' Sketchbooks, in February 1991, including Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Jackson Pollock, and Cy Twombly.[23]

Matthew Marks Gallery opened its first space in Chelsea – a converted single-story garage with skylights on 22nd Street –[24] in 1994, with a show of Ellsworth Kelly.[25] By 1997, the gallery was fully transplanted to Chelsea, and the Madison Ave. space was closed. Over the following years, two more spaces in Chelsea were added.[26]

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.[27]

In 2012, Matthew Marks Gallery opened two locations in West Hollywood, Los Angeles,[28] both designed by Peter Zellner.[29]
