Bridget Donahue is an American gallerist and curator.[2]
Donahue's studies include a B.A. in anthropology and M.A. in textiles.[3] Her work with textiles led her to the art of Rosemarie Trockel, and in turn, led Ms. Donahue to a position at the Gladstone Gallery, which represents Trockel.[4]
After the Gladstone Gallery, Donahue worked at the D’Amelio Terras Gallery before becoming a gallery director at Gavin Brown's Enterprise.[5] In 2008, she co-founded the Brooklyn gallery space Cleopatra’s with three friends.[6]
In 2015, Donahue opened her eponymous gallery in Manhattan's Lower East Side, which made a number of “Best of 2015” lists from publications such as The New York Times and Art in America magazine. Bridget Donahue represents and shows contemporary artists including, as of 2019; Lisa Alvarado,[7] Susan Cianciolo, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Satoshi Kojima, Monique Mouton, Sondra Perry, Jessi Reaves, John Russell, Olga Balema Martine Syms, and Mark Van Yetter.
