When news broke on Monday that legendary art dealer Barbara Gladstone had died, it felt like something the end of an era for the New York art world.

Gladstone had opened her gallery in 1980 in a shoebox space on 57th Street before moving to larger digs. First, she relocated to SoHo around 1983, then to Chelsea in 1996. She placed an emphasis on growing organically, and was “attuned to the granular movements and energies that best serve artists,” as she once told ARTnews. Her gallery now has locations in Brussels, Seoul, Rome, and Los Angeles, in addition to its three spaces in New York.
