Mariane Ibrahim-Lenhardt: “I really am on the side of the voices” that the culture tries “to shut down.” Emily Pothast
Did you know that Seattle is home to one of the most talked-about international galleries in the world right now? Don’t feel bad if you haven’t heard of Mariane Ibrahim Gallery. There are avid Seattle collectors who still haven’t ventured in. But if you live in the Northwest and care about art, you should know how “Mariane Ibrahim” became a buzzword on the global art-fair circuit.
Earlier this year, the Armory Show, New York’s premier art fair, offered a prize for the first time in its 23-year history: a $10,000 award that covers the cost of a booth in its “Presents” section, allowing a young gallery of exceptional vision to exhibit for free. The recipient of this inaugural prize? Mariane Ibrahim Gallery from Seattle, Washington, USA.
