ABOUT THE JURORS

  • Kathryn Markel
    Kathryn Markel

    Owner, Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, New York, NY and Bridgehampton, NY
    Co-Juror for National Show: The Figure, 2015

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.”
