Mary Boone




Mary Boone, born October 29, 1951, is the director and owner of Mary Boone Gallery, a venue that has helped launch the careers of many artists since its establishment in 1977.   She was instrumental in the burgeoning art world of the 1980s, with her gallery representing artists who were on the fringe of the advancing artistic envelope.   Julian Schnabel, David Salle, Jean Michel Basquiat, and Eric Fischl are among a long list of distinguished artists who had their beginnings at the Mary Boone Gallery.  Currently, Mary Boone Gallery has two venues in New York City: one at 745 Fifth Avenue and the other at 541 West 24
th Street.
