66. Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn

Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn is a gallerist, art advisor, and independent curator. A fierce activist, she is committed to feminist and progressive ideas and a belief in art’s power to bring about social change. Greenberg Rohatyn founded her first gallery space in 2002, later adding venues on the Bowery in 2007 and 2010. Known for breaking hierarchies between design and high art, in 2017, she founded Salon 94 Design. She has championed artists such as Huma Bhabha, Judy Chicago, Katy Grannan, David Hammons, Lyle Ashton Harris, and Betty Woodman among many others. She and Zuckerman discuss a shared love of architecture, growing up in a house of art, being a practicing feminist, hiding in the bathroom with Andy Warhol, the goal and impact of “see better”, the relationship of art and justice, how we want story tellers now, loving looking at art, being elegant in transitions, exhibition making, being a business partner to artists, how she chooses artists, learning from her father, how art needs a lot of help! *** This episode is brought to you by Kelly Klee private insurance .
