Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn
Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn has helped shape the art world both directly as curator of three art galleries and indirectly as the host of salons where artists of all stripes have met and begun surprising collaborations. Greenberg Rohatyn studied art at Vassar and New York University before becoming a private curator and advisor, making connections between prospective patrons, including hip-hop legend and filmmaker Jay-Z, and up-and-coming artists. She continued to forge such connections through her salons and to nurture and advise artists whose potential she recognizes. Her gallery, Salon 94, has three locations and is known for showcasing artists of wildly different styles and backgrounds; Greenberg Rohatyn is known for seeking out artists for the variety and range of their work. Salon 94 briefly closed in 2021, as Greenberg Rohatyn joined a gallery venture, LGDR Galleries, with three other partners. However, she reopened Salon 94 in summer 2023 and continues to find success. She is part of the selection committee for the Frieze New York Art Fair. In 2014 Artfair named her one of the 25 most important women in the art world.
