Marian Goodman Gallery was founded in New York City in late 1977, at a time when few women worked in the art world.

This gallery is one of the world’s top galleries, that they will join the buzz out West with a new permanent location in Hollywood, beginning early next year. The move follows a groundswell of New York galleries that announced last winter that they would set up shop in Southern California. The gallery’s new location will take over a 1920s warehouse near the Highland Corridor, the 13,000-square-foot complex will feature 5,000 square feet of pristine skylit galleries as well as a landscaped garden, viewing rooms, office space, and dedicated parking which located at 1120 Seward Street just above Santa Monica Boulevard. It will be combined into one unified space by L.A.-based architectural firm Johnston Marklee. The inaugural programming will be announced in the fall. Though several galleries have recently announced forthcoming locations in L.A., including David Zwirner, Lisson Gallery, Sean Kelly, and Pace’s merger with Kayne Griffin, Phillip Kaiser, the gallery’s president and partner, said their expansion to L.A. had been a long time coming. In fact, Marian Goodman, the gallery’s founder, once operated a space on La Cienega Boulevard on the Westside for two years in the 1970s that was an extension of her Multiples, Inc., publishing platform.
