Helene Winer is an American art gallery owner and curator. She co-owns Metro Pictures Gallery in New York City with Janelle Reiring.
Background and Education
Born 1946 in Los Angeles, Helen was raised in Westechester, and received a B.A. in Art History from the University of Southern California in 1966.[1][2] She started as an assistant at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art before travelling to Europe, where she took the position of assistant director of the Whitechapel Gallery.[2]
Pomona College Museum of Art
In Fall 1970, Winer returned to Southern California, appointed as Director of the Museum of Art at Pomona College, and assistant professor of art. [3] At Pomona, Winer organized the first solo shows of Jack Goldstein and William Wegman, as well as exhibitions of John Baldessari, Joe Goode, Bas Jan Ader, John McCracken, Ed Moses, Allen Ruppersberg, and Ger Van Elk.[4] She also organized presentations for performance artists Chris Burden, Hirokazu Kosaka, Wolfgang Stoerchle, and John M. White.[5]
Artists Space
After leaving Pomona, Winer spent a brief period writing for the Los Angeles Times, before moving to New York and freelancing before becoming Director of the non-profit Artists Space in 1975.[5]. The 1977 show Pictures, curated by Douglas Crimp, featured the early work of Troy Brauntuch, Jack Goldstein, Sherrie Levine, Robert Longo, and Philip Smith.[6] Pictures was a definitive exhibition for that group of postmodern artists, who came to be known as the "Pictures" generation.[7]
