Maureen Paley
Maureen Paley (born 1953) is the American owner of a contemporary art gallery in Bethnal Green, London, where she lives. Initially named Interim Art, the gallery was renamed Maureen Paley in 2004 as a celebration of its 20th anniversary. The gallery is located at 60 Three Colts Lane.
Paley exhibited Young British Artists at an early stage. Artists represented include Turner Prize winners Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Gillian Wearing and Wolfgang Tillmans. One thing in common with many of the artists represented is their interest in addressing social issues.
Maureen Paley was born in New York. She attended Sarah Lawrence College, and graduated from Brown University in 1975. She emigrated to England in 1977, attending the Royal College of Art from 1978 to 1980, where she gained an MA in photography.
In 1984, Paley began a gallery programme in her Victorian terraced house. During the late 1980s, she exhibited examples of contemporary art by Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Sarah Charlesworth, Charles Ray, Mike Kelley, Michelangelo Pistoletto and Günther Förg.
In the early 1990s, the gallery presented several exhibitions made by the burgeoning group of artists that were to become known as the YBAs—including, Henry Bond, Angela Bulloch and Liam Gillick. For years she exhibited work by Gillian Wearing and Wolfgang Tillmans.
She was called by Time Out "a true pioneer of the East End", having presented work there before it was fashionable. For almost a decade, the gallery was supported by Arts Council grants and other patronage.
In September 1999, the gallery moved to Herald Street in Bethnal Green, occupying "a chic new industrial space." Paley's base in the area was a precedent for leading galleries such as White Cube and Victoria Miro to also locate in the East End."
