Downtown Dealers, a live conversation series bringing together New York art dealers from multiple generations, is now available to stream as a podcast. Organized by Bill Cournoyer at Tara Downs Gallery and moderated by Independent’s Founder Elizabeth Dee, the first Downtown Dealers talk took place in May 2023 with guest speakers Jordan Barse (Theta), Tara Downs, Nicole Klagsbrun (Cable Gallery and Nicole Klagsbrun), and Jay Gorney (Jay Gorney Modern Art). In this episode, Nicole Klagsbrun and Jay Gorney share their experiences of the small but vital gallery system in the late 1980s, while Tara Downs and Jordan Barse discuss entering the New York art scene with the advent of technology at the start of the 21st century.
