It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of the founder of the
Donald Young Gallery. After a yearlong battle with cancer, Donald Young was
surrounded by his family when he died on April 12 in Chicago.
An influential and internationally known gallerist, Young will be remembered for
his intellectual curiosity and commitment to the artists he represented, a number
of whom he worked closely with for more than three decades. Young was
widely admired and respected for his unique vision and his dedication to the
production of complex new projects and commissions. He lived his life with
intense determination and a deeply felt sense of ethics and responsibility
towards art and artists.
Young shared an abiding interest in architecture and design with his wife Shirley
Weese Young, a graphic designer, who created the galleryʼs graphic identity and
materials. Together they built a number of remarkable architectural projects and
interior renovations for their homes and the gallery. In addition to his dedication
to the visual arts, Young was an active supporter of civil and human rights as
well as environmental causes.
Born in England in 1942, Young began his career as an assistant in a London
gallery, moving to Paris in the early 1960s. There he spent ten years as a
private dealer of 20th century European masters and contemporary American
art. Following a brief period in New York, together with Rhona Hoffman he
opened the Young Hoffman Gallery in Chicago in 1976, focusing on Minimal and
Conceptual art.
In 1983, he established the Donald Young Gallery, continuing to exhibit
important artists such as Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Jannis Kounellis, Robert
Mangold, Sol LeWitt, Martin Puryear, and later Jeff Koons, Charles Ray, James
Welling, Josiah McElheny, and Anne Chu. Young became well known for his
early involvement with media artists such as Gary Hill, Bill Viola, Rodney
Graham, and Joshua Mosley. Young also worked with Bruce Nauman, Richard
Serra, and Ulrich Rückriem on numerous large-scale and outdoor projects. The
gallery presented significant installations and projects by European artists such
as Sophie Calle, Tony Cragg, Cristina Iglesias, Richard Long, Andrew Lord,
Thomas Schütte, Rosemarie Trockel, Rebecca Warren and Mark Wallinger. As
well, Young was committed to Chicago artists, exhibiting Jeanne Dunning, Ken
Fandell, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Laura Letinsky and Tony Tasset. |
