In honor of the 50th Anniversary, we're sharing a little bit of the gallery's history.

Kathryn Markel studied art history at Northwestern University, where she fell in love with contemporary art. In 1971, after an educational stint at a commercial gallery in Chicago, she began working at Landfall Press, a lithography workshop run by master printer Jack Lemon. She was Landfall’s primary salesperson and, for four years, traveled around the United States and Europe selling lithographs by Christo, Sol LeWitt, Philip Pearlstein, and many others. She moved to New York in 1975 to start her own business specializing in prints and unique works on paper, and in September 1976 established Kathryn Markel Fine Arts at 50 West 57th Street. Initially, the gallery participated in the familiar print market but quickly pivoted to working with emerging artists who created original works on paper. At the time, there were only three galleries with open-viewing policies for artists: Alan Stone, Ivan Karp, and Kathryn Markel. Monday was the day to look at art, and artists lined up in the hall outside the gallery to show her their work. “I loved showing work by emerging artists,” she says, “because they cared if I sold their work. The world did not need another dealer selling prints by established artists. Following an artist’s career and learning about their process and motivations was much more interesting.” That commitment to emerging artists was evident early on.
