The gallery programme began in 1984 in a Victorian terraced house in London’s East End. Initially named Interim Art, the gallery changed its name to Maureen Paley in 2004, as a celebration of its 20th anniversary. Since September 1999 the gallery has been situated in its present location in Herald Street, Bethnal Green.
Having had its 25th anniversary the gallery’s aim has remained consistent: to promote great and innovative artists in all media.
Maureen Paley was one of the first to present work in London’s East End and has been a pioneer of the current scene promoting and showing art from the USA and continental Europe as well as launching new talent from the UK. Gallery artists include Turner prize winners Wolfgang Tillmans and Gillian Wearing, as well as Turner Prize nominees Rebecca Warren and Liam Gillick. Also represented are up and coming artists such as Beck’s Futures nominees Donald Urquhart, Daria Martin, Seb Patane, and Beck’s Futures winner Saskia Olde Wolbers. The gallery has recently added the estate ofKeith Arnatt to its roster. All of the gallery artists have exhibited widely both here and abroad.
