History
Matthew Marks worked for the Pace Gallery in New York and Anthony d'Offay in London prior to opening his own gallery. At Pace, he organized his first show of American prints in 1983 at the age of twenty, and co-organized a show of Picasso sketchbooks in 1986.
After working for three years at d’Offay, Marks moved back to New York to open his own gallery on Madison Avenue. The Matthew Marks Gallery had its first exhibition, Artists’ Sketchbooks, in February 1991, including Louise Bourgeois, Francesco Clemente, Jackson Pollock, and Cy Twombly.
The gallery opened its first space in Chelsea on 22nd Street in 1994. By 1997, the gallery was fully transplanted to Chelsea, and the Madison Ave. space was closed.

But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.”
