ABOUT THE JURORS
Owner, Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, New York, NY and Bridgehampton, NY
Co-Juror for National Show: The Figure, 2015
Kathryn Markel has owned Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, which specializes in painting and work on paper by contemporary American artists, since 1975. Her two galleries are located in Chelsea, NYC and Bridgehampton, NY. Ms. Markel is a respected member of the contemporary art community. She has lectured widely on the contemporary art market and is a member of ArtTable, an organization for women in the arts.
Regarding her reaction to new art, Ms. Markel states, “My reaction is immediate and visceral. I need to feel it more than understand it. I like to see a unique visual language, juicy paint handling, and a kind of clarity, control, and obvious intention, as opposed to the paintings that seem accidental.”
Director, Gerald Peters Gallery in New York & Santa Fe
Owner, The Peter Marcelle Project in Southampton, NY
Co-Juror for National Shows: The Figure (2015); The Creative Process (2014); H2O (2013); Joy (2012)
