Lorraine O’Grady Departs Longtime New York Dealer for Chicago’s Mariane Ibrahim
Lorraine O'Grady, the influential conceptual artist whose well-received retrospective is still traveling the US, has exited her longtime gallery and joined the Chicago-based Mariane Ibrahim Gallery.
Her works have taken up a spread of issues, including the very nature of art history itself, the relationship between the general public and conceptual art, and intersections of Blackness, femininity, and class.
“When the opportunity to work with Mariane Ibrahim Gallery presented itself, I knew this was what I had been envisioning in a commercial partner. Mariane is a trailblazer who has forged her own path in this industry and who can bring greater visibility to my art nationally and internationally. I am energized by this new chapter and by seeing my legacy continue to unfold to new level.” O’Grady said in a statement.
