Marian Goodman’s views extended far beyond the windows of her Central Park West home.

In her world, art was never held at a distance. Treasured paintings by Gerhard Richter were enjoyed through the passing of the seasons and the changing of the light. Their versatility was brilliantly demonstrated by New York’s cinematic vistas.

Goodman collected with patience and conviction, guided by a fierce devotion to her artists. Her 1980s acquisition of ‘Kerze (Candle)’ marked the beginning of a decades-long commitment to Richter’s work, one grounded in instinct and sustained by loyalty.

The result is a collection defined not only by its quality, but by the singular way Marian Goodman saw, lived with and understood art over time.
