Anthony Meier, the founder of the San Francisco-based Anthony Meier Fine Art gallery, is named the president of the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA).
Apart from Meier, ADAA also named four new directors for its board in a major leadership shuffle. These include Katherine Degn of Kruashaar Galleries, Robert Grosman of Mitchell-Innes & Nash, Emily-Jane Kirwan of Marian Goodman Gallery, and Nick Olney of Kasmin. Anthony Meier has been associated with ADAA since 2007. In the past, he has served as the vice-president of the board of directors. He was also the chairman of the Art Show Committee – an advisory group that manages the annual shows of ADAA like the one that opened last week. Meier will replace Andrew Schoelkopf, who served in this position since 2018.
Speaking on his nomination, Meier said:
“ADAA members represent an extraordinary breadth and depth of expertise and excellence through their programs, and I am honored to continue to support them as part of the ADAA’s leadership. I look forward to continue working with Executive Director Maureen Bray, my colleagues on the Board of Directors, and the entire membership to amplify their critical role within our industry.”
