The gallery is considered to be one of the "leading experimental galleries" in New York City.[1] Early careerMagdalena Sawon came to Manhattan from Poland in 1981, having studied art history with an emphasis in Japonism in Warsaw, earning a Master's degree.[2] After a job in a shoe store, and emboldened by a class she took at the New School taught by Estelle Schwartz, she struck out with partner Tamas Banovich, opening an art gallery in the East Village on Avenue A between 4th and 5th Streets[3] in December 1984.[4] The name of the gallery referenced being "post" the European masters, alludes to Postmodernism, and also points to an early interest in mail art and its distribution by the postal service.[2] In 1988, Sawon and Banovich moved Postmasters Gallery to a Soho loft space at Greene and Spring Streets.[3][5] Later, the gallery was relocated to Chelsea (1998)[6] and Tribeca in October 2013.[4] Sawon lived in the East Village and Chelsea prior to her move to Soho.[7] In 2002, Sawon sold a work from her gallery (by artists Jennifer and Kevin McCoy) to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which she described as a highlight of her career.[8] Other contributionsIn addition to her directorial and curatorial activities at Postmasters Gallery, Sawon was elected to the board of Rhizome in 2002.[9] She also is a founding member of SEVEN art fair,[3] started in 2010.
