Inaugural Exhibition Underscores Creative Affinities of Gallery Artists Who Stand Among Most Innovative and Influential of Our Time

New York, NY (July 11, 2024) —The Partners of Marian Goodman Gallery announced today the opening of its new flagship location in downtown Manhattan on October 26, 2024. Revitalizing the historic Grosvenor Building in Tribeca's growing arts district, the Gallery will be inaugurated by a major group exhibition highlighting the intellectual and creative affinities that have defined the Gallery’s program for over 40 years. Featuring a range of new commissions and installations as well as activations, performance, and moving image presentations, the inaugural exhibition provides a nuanced, cross-generational overview of artistic practices today and showcases the unique cosmos of artists represented by the Gallery.

Following the inauguration of Marian Goodman Gallery Los Angeles last fall, the opening of the Tribeca flagship reflects the Gallery’s acceleration into its next chapter under the leadership of Partners Philipp Kaiser, Emily-Jane Kirwan, Rose Lord, Leslie Nolen, and Junette Teng. With a dynamic street-level presence, the newly renovated 30,000-square-feet building provides a prominent platform for the Gallery and its artists, who are among the most innovative and influential of our time.

On view through December 21, 2024, the exhibition will include work by: Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Chantal Akerman, Giovanni Anselmo, Leonor Antunes, Nairy Baghramian, Lothar Baumgarten, Dara Birnbaum, Christian Boltanski, Daniel Boyd, Marcel Broodthaers, Maurizio Cattelan, James Coleman, Tony Cragg, Richard Deacon, Tacita Dean, Rineke Dijkstra, Cerith Wyn Evans, Andrea Fraser, Bernard Frize, Dan Graham, Pierre Huyghe, Cristina Iglesias, Amar Kanwar, An-My Lê, Steve McQueen, Julie Mehretu, Annette Messager, Delcy Morelos, Sabine Moritz, Maria Nordman, Gabriel Orozco, Giulio Paolini, Giuseppe Penone, Edi Rama, Anri Sala, Matt Saunders, Tino Sehgal, Paul Sietsema, Robert Smithson, Ettore Spalletti, Tavares Strachan, Thomas Struth, Niele Toroni, Adrián Villar Rojas, Danh Vo, James Welling, and Yang Fudong.

“Our inaugural exhibition marks the first time in nearly a decade that audiences will have the opportunity to view the full spectrum of our artists and explores the connections, affinities, and points of personal and creative intersection that have been fostered and have flourished among these artists," said Kaiser. 

Added Lord, “With its flexibility of space and prominence of location in Tribeca, the new gallery enables our artists to continue to innovate and inspire, as we extend our program and engage an ever-broader public.”

Stated Kirwan, “Marian Goodman Gallery is moving into an exciting phase of public engagement. Our artists are at the heart of all that we do and our new flagship space in New York together with our galleries in Paris and Los Angeles provide critical platforms for their international practices.”

Designed by studioMDA, Marian Goodman Gallery's new home transforms the entire five-story Grosvenor Building, including two floors of light-filled exhibition space as well as viewing rooms, a library and archive, art storage, and administrative offices. Originally built in 1875 and located at 385 Broadway, the Grosvenor served as an industrial warehouse for more than a century, before performing arts organizations adopted the building as a venue. Vacant since 1999, the renovated and restored building is being rewoven back into the cultural and civic fabric of the neighborhood with the Gallery's opening.
