Maureen Paley is the American owner of a contemporary art gallery, also Maureen Paley, in London, where she lives. She exhibited Young British Artists at an early stage.[1]
Life and career
Maureen Paley was born in New York, graduating from Brown University. She emigrated to England in 1977, initially attending The Royal College of Art, where she gained an MA in photography.[2]
Paley began a gallery programme in her home, a Victorian terraced house in Beck Road in Bethnal Green, in 1984.[3][4] She showed the Young British Artists (YBAs) at an early stage in their careers.[1] In the early 1990s, the gallery was known as Interim Art, and presented several exhibitions made by the burgeoning group of artists that were to become known as the YBAs—including Henry Bond, Angela Bulloch and Liam Gillick.[5] In 2000, Matthew Collings said, "everybody knows who the good YBAs are: the ones Maureen and the unrealist colleagues have signed up!"[6]
In 1994, she was one of 35 art world signatories[7] to a letter in the Evening Standard demanding that its art critic Brian Sewell should be sacked for his "artistic prejudice".[8] A letter in response from 20 other art world signatories accused the writers of attempted censorship to promote "a relentless programme of neo-conceptual art in all the main London venues".[9]
In 1994 Paley organised an exhibition of works by Félix González-Torres, Joseph Kosuth, and Ad Reinhardt at Camden Arts Centre.[citation needed]
In 1995, Wall to Wall was presented for the National Touring Exhibitions and appeared at the Serpentine Gallery, London, Southampton City Art Gallery, and Leeds City Art Gallery, showing wall drawings by international artists, including Daniel Buren, Michael Craig-Martin, Douglas Gordon, Barbara Kruger, Sol Lewitt, and Lawrence Weiner.[citation needed]
In 1996 Paley also selected an exhibition, The Cauldron, of work by Young British Artists—Christine Borland, Angela Bulloch, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Steven Pippin, Georgina Starr and Gillian Wearing—for the Henry Moore Sculpture Trust, installed in their studio space in Dean Clough, Halifax.[citation needed]
In September 1999 the gallery moved to Herald Street in Bethnal Green. It changed its name to Maureen Paley in 2004.
Paley was called by Time Out "a true pioneer of the East End", having presented work there before it was fashionable.[10][11]
