Garvey|Simon is pleased to announce Select 2024, the ninth annual exhibition of work by emerging and mid-career artists chosen by director Elizabeth K. Garvey through the gallery’s innovative Review Program. This year’s Select artists are Abby Goldstein, Carrie Lederer, J Myszka Lewis, Patrick Neal, Elizabeth Riley, Marcy Rosenblat, Patricia Spergel, Joanne Ungar, Laura Von Rosk, and Jessica Weiss. The exhibition will be on view on Artsy.net and at the Garvey|Simon viewing space on the Upper West Side (by appointment) from November 25, 2024 through February 21, 2025.
Garvey|Simon established the Review Program in 2016 to open a democratic dialogue between Artist and Gallery, a practice that is anathema to art world orthodoxy. Garvey|Simon believes that artists “need to have a working platform to engage with dealers who otherwise might not see their work. We want artists to think before they submit and be sure their work is appropriate for our program – a submission fee puts some skin in the game and detracts from artists sending generic, mass submissions”. Finalists have a private meeting with the gallery for consideration for the exhibition. Garvey|Simon has cultivated successful partnerships with numerous artists since the inception of this annual event, several have gone on to have solo and group shows with the gallery.
Select 2024 continues as a hybrid exhibition, on view by appointment in our Viewing Room on the Upper West Side and online exclusively with Artsy.net. By using this vetted online marketplace, the exhibition will have an extended duration, and the opportunity to reach an increasingly global audience. The artworks will also be shown in-person in an intimate environment, providing a bespoke viewing experience. This year’s artists share an interest in abundance, craft, pattern, and the complexity of the natural world.
