Marlborough began as representatives for a new generation of post-war British artists, such as Henry Moore and Francis Bacon. The gallery quickly expanded its business to 19th century secondary market dealings in Degas, Cassatt, Signac, Monet, Pissarro and Renoir.
Through the 1960s, Marlborough presented exhibitions of new work by Bacon, Still, Moore, Pollock, David Smith and Schiele. In 1969, Marlborough presented the era-defining exhibition of Phillip Guston’s first figurative paintings in New York.\n \nDuring the 1970s and 1980s, Marlborough exhibited new work by Moore, Bacon, Frank Auerbach, Lynn Chadwick, Jacques Lipschitz, Magritte, Lucian Freud, Barbara Hepworth and R.B. Kitaj. Exhibitions such as Kurt Schwitters in Exile and The Pressure to Paint are considered seminal 1980s shows. Through the 1990s, Marlborough worked directly with renowned international artists, including Magdalena Abakanowicz, Auerbach, Richard Estes, Antonio López-Garcia, Red Grooms, Kitaj and Paula Rego.\n \nEffective 2019, all programming in the galleries internationally has been consolidated under the direction of Max Levai. Levai began working with the organization in 2012, focusing on creating exhibitions under the gallery subdivisions of Marlborough Chelsea and Marlborough Contemporary. He has executed ambitious projects with Jonah Freeman \u0026amp; Justin Lowe, Mike Bouchet, Celeste Dupuy-Spencer and Julius von Bismarck. Recently, he has mounted critically lauded presentations by Survival Research Laboratories in New York and Susan Te Kahurangi King in London. Marlborough’s newly consolidated program will highlight historical shows and artist estates alongside leading contemporary artists. Upcoming shows include a group show inspired by Maurizio Cattelan, a Magdalena Abakanowicz solo exhibition and the 50th anniversary presentation of Joe Zucker’s 100-Foot-Long Painting
