Get to know the seven women gallerists who defined the New York art world, here:
never set out to become a dealer. At university, she dreamed of joining the United Nations, but after she married and had two children, she followed another passion and enrolled in a graduate art history seminar at Columbia, where she was the only woman. Her first foray into the art world came around 1962, when she compiled a portfolio of cheap offset prints by New York painters to raise funds for her children’s school and met Franz Kline, who gave her drawings to sell.
Goodman, who turned 90 in June, sits in the living room of her homey duplex on New York’s Upper West Side, recalling the path she has forged to her current perch as one of the most venerated art dealers in the world. In those early days, she recalls, one prominent male dealer enthusiastically praised another for artist prints that Goodman had commissioned, and male collectors openly ignored her.
Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, and Sol LeWitt—many of whom her gallery went on to represent. As conceptual art’s most ardent ally, the striking, soft-spoken Cooper has always followed her own taste. She was the first dealer to show Lynda Benglis, Joel Shapiro, and Elizabeth Murray, and the first to embrace multi-creative disciplines under one roof, hosting evenings of music, dance, and poetry, often with an activist bent.
If none of them has built the global empire of some of their male peers, it’s because none aspired to what, 72, calls “very high-stakes art dealing,” in part because shaping artists’ careers, not making sales records, fueled their ambitions. “Our generation looks on it as a nurturing kind of profession,” she says.
Of course, other women had broken ground before them: Betty Parsons championed Abstract Expressionists like Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko; Eleanor Ward gave Andy Warhol his first solo show, of his Pop paintings, including his “Marilyn” silk screens, in 1962. Through the 1970s and early ’80s, Leo Castelli and his ex-wife, Ileana Sonnabend, were the iconic dealers.
