Manhattan’s Lower East Side Breeds Women Gallerists

April 11, 2012 by Marion Maneker

Katya Kazakina points out the prevalence of galleries owned by women on New York’s Lower East Side, a trend that has been taking off in the last five years:

Women own about 30 percent of art galleries on the Lower East Side, up from about 4 percent five years ago, according to Katie Archer, business services manager at Lower East Side Business Improvement District.

The first batch — Gitlen, Candice Madey, Rachel Uffner, Lisa Cooley, Nicelle Beauchene — came in 2008, settling along or near Orchard Street. They had worked at blue-chip Chelsea galleries, auction houses and art-advising firms.

“They bring incredible knowledge, history and experience to the way they promote their artists,” said Sue Stoffel, a collector and emerging-art adviser in Manhattan. “Whenever I go to the Lower East Side, they are the basis of my itinerary.”
