About the Gallery
Maureen Paley was founded in 1984 in a Victorian terraced house in London’s East End. Initially named Interim Art, the gallery changed its name to Maureen Paley in 2004 in celebration of its twentieth anniversary. The gallery has been in its current location in Herald Street, Bethnal Green, since September 1999. The gallery’s aim from its inception has been the promotion of innovative artists in all media.
Maureen Paley was one of the first galleries to present contemporary art in the East End, introducing the work of American and European artists to a London audience as well as launching new talent from the UK. Gallery artists include Turner Prize winners Wolfgang Tillmans (2000) and Gillian Wearing (1997) and Turner Prize nominees Liam Gillick (2002) and Rebecca Warren (2006). Recent additions to the gallery program include Tom Burr, Oscar Tuazon, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Paulo Nimer Pjota, and Olivia Plender. All of the gallery’s artists have exhibited widely in the UK and abroad.

Maureen Paley has been leading east London's gallery scene since she founded her first space on Beck Road in 1984...we met at Maureen Paley to talk independent spirit, openness and international outlook.
Gallerist Maureen Paley tells us about her top London spots and her fondness for The Wounded Deer.
27 years ago, Maureen Paley set up her home gallery in a gritty area of east London, as far removed from the city's commercial art district as one could imagine.
Maureen is devilishly good company, and an art event cannot truly be said to be happening until her beehive enters the room.
