jack hanley gallery scene 2713040

Jack Hanley, a beloved and idiosyncratic New York gallerist, announced he would close his gallery after 37 years in business. In a conversation with Artnet News co-host Kate Brown, Hanley reflects on his career as a disruptor who followed instinct over market logic, giving early shows to now-iconic artists like Günther Förg, Christopher Wool, Sophie Calle, and Christian Marclay, and even hosting Beeple's first gallery show. Hanley, a former Grateful Dead roadie and avid orchid grower, also founded an art fair and ran galleries in multiple cities.

art mary boone prison art dealer interview

Mary Boone, the renowned gallerist who closed her eponymous gallery in 2019 after being sentenced to prison for tax evasion, has returned to the New York art scene. She is collaborating on the exhibition "Uptown/Downtown" at Lévy Gorvy Dayan, on view through December 13. The show features works by Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Richard Prince, and Cindy Sherman, among others, and explores the 1980s New York art world. In an interview, Boone discusses her comeback, the optimism of the 1980s that allowed her to succeed as a woman without family connections, and the current re-examination of that era.
