Marian Goodman Gallery moves to Tribeca after 46 years in Midtown

After more than four decades in Midtown Manhattan, Marian Goodman Gallery is departing 57th Street for Tribeca, the neighborhood where many galleries have flocked in the past few years.

According to ARTnews, The gallery will now be located at 385 Broadway, where it will reopen in mid or late 2024. It will occupy two floors of gallery space there covering 30,000 square feet, nearly doubling the size of its current space on 57th Street. StudioMDA, which has overseen the architecture for a number of galleries in Tribeca, will work on the new space for Marian Goodman.

A major player in the New York scene, Marian Goodman Gallery represents artists such as Maurizio Cattelan, Nan Goldin, William Kentridge, Julie Mehretu, and Danh Vo. Founder Marian Goodman, now in her mid-90s, appears to be in expansion mode, with plans to open a gallery in Los Angeles soon. Her gallery also operates a space in Paris and one in London after closing its exhibition space there in 2020.

Goodman opened her gallery in 1977 on East 57th Street and moved to its current location on West 57th Street in 1981.

Philipp Kaiser, a president, and partner at the gallery said in a statement, “our new home will support an expanded program, serve a larger audience, and enable greater impact for our artists. We have long considered a possible move downtown and the opportunity to move into this historical building in Tribeca, with its flexibility of space, its light, and engagement with the life of the city, was a critical factor for the Partners in advancing the Gallery’s global profile and presence.”

A flood of galleries has in recent years departed neighborhoods like Chelsea and the Lower East Side for Tribeca, seeking more space and lower rents. Among them are P.P.O.W., JTT, Andrew Kreps, and Canada. The last gallery to join that wave is Alexander Gray Associates, which will relocate to a space across the street from Marian Goodman Gallery’s new location next year.
