Gladstone Gallery[edit]

History[edit]

In 1980, Gladstone gave up teaching art history at Hofstra University to open an art gallery in Manhattan,[3] where she began showing Jenny Holzer.[4]

From 1989 to 1992, Gladstone Gallery collaborated with Christian Stein, an Italian art gallerist, on SteinGladstone. Located in a renovated firehouse at 99 Wooster Street in Soho, the gallery concentrated exclusively on rarely seen installation works by both Italian and American artists.[5]

Gladstone Gallery staged Matthew Barney's first New York solo show in 1991 and has since introduced many international artists to an American audience.[6] Before moving to Chelsea in 1996, the gallery was located in Soho and on 57th Street in New York City. In 1996, the gallery teamed up with two other galleries – Metro Pictures and Matthew Marks Gallery – to acquire and divide up a 29,000 sq ft (2,700 m2) warehouse at 515 West 24th Street.[7] In addition, Gladstone Gallery operates spaces at 530 West 21st Street and at 12 Rue du Grand Cerf in Brussels.[8]

The gallery is also a prominent participant in many major art fairs.[9]

In 2002, Gladstone brought Curt Marcus on as partner for several years.[10][7] In 2020, Gladstone Gallery merged with Gavin Brown's Enterprise and made Gavin Brown a partner.[11]

Since 2018, Gladstone has been serving on the board of the non-profit Artists Space.[12]

Film production[edit]

Gladstone has produced many of Matthew Barney's movies, including four films from The Cremaster Cycle and the 2006 movie Drawing Restraint 9,[37] a collaboration between Barney and Björk. Gladstone appears in Drawing Restraint 13, a later film by Barney. Gladstone also produced Shirin Neshat's film Women Without Men.[citation needed]

Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund[edit]

In 2008, Gladstone initiated the formation of the Stuart Regen Visionaries Fund at the New Museum, established in honor of her late son and art dealer Stuart Regen.[38] The gift is meant to support a series of public lectures and presentations by cultural visionaries and debuted in 2009 with choreographer Bill T. Jones.[39] It has featured prominent international thinkers in the fields of art, architecture, design and contemporary culture. Past speakers have included Jimmy Wales (2010),[40] Alice Waters (2011),[41] Maya Lin (2013),[42] Hilton Als (2015)[43][44] and Fran Lebowitz (2016, in conversation with Martin Scorsese).[45]

Personal life[edit]

Gladstone was married to the late Elliot B. Regen.[46] She has two sons, David and Richard Regen; her third son, Stuart Regen, died in 1998 at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[47] Gladstone has a younger sister, Joan Steinberg.

From 2005 until 2012, Gladstone maintained a residence at 165 Charles Street, a residential tower designed by Richard Meier.[48] She has since moved to a townhouse in Chelsea.[49]
