Exhibitions
The gallery has invited art historians like Thomas Crow and Harry Cooper to write essays for gallery catalogues for the exhibitions it has organized over the years, beyond the usual monographic and group shows. The artists Charles Ray and Robert Gober were invited to organize shows. In 2005, the Matthew Marks Gallery organized Jasper Johns: Catenary, which was the first exhibition of the artist’s work since his 1996 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art.
Marks also co-founded the Gramercy International Contemporary Art Fair (now renamed the Armory Show: The International Fair for New Art after the infamous Armory Show in 1913 that introduced modern art to many Americans), which is the largest contemporary art fair in New York and one of the largest in the world.
