20th anniversary of Marian Goodman Gallery in Paris
Marian Goodman has long cited a deep love for Paris as the impetus for opening her first European gallery here in 1995. Originally located at rue Debelleyme, in 1999 the gallery found a permanent home in the Hôtel de Montmor, a 17th-century Parisian hotel particulier at 79 rue du Temple. For the past 20 years, the Marian Goodman Gallery has presented exciting exhibitions by some of the most important artists, including Gerhard Richter, Giuseppe Penone, Annette Messager and John Baldessari. The gallery has also supported, and helped to organize, numerous exhibitions of artists at renowned French institutions: Giuseppe Penone at Château de Versailles in 2013; Gerhard Richter and Annette Messager at Centre Pompidou in 2012 and 2009, respectively; William Kentridge at the Louvre Museum in 2010; Christian Boltanski on the occasion of Monumenta at the Grand Palais in 2010; Rineke Dijkstra at Jeu de Paume in 2004; Steve McQueen at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in 2002; currently, Jeff Wall at the Fondation Cartier-Bresson (September 9–December 20) and Dan Graham at Place Vendôme (October 12–November 12).
