Judy Ledgerwood to Be Represented by GRAY in New York, In Addition to Global Rep with Rhona Hoffman
GRAY announced it is pleased to welcome Judy Ledgerwood to the gallery’s roster of artists. In a painting career spanning four decades, Ledgerwood has confronted and expanded the history of abstract painting by decentering perceptions of its neutrality and prioritizing visual engagement and pleasure.
GRAY will represent Ledgerwood in New York and globally alongside Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chicago. Ledgerwood’s first solo exhibition will open at GRAY New York in Fall 2025.

The exhibition, to which Mongerson Gallery was honored to provide the loan of multiple works, highlights the cultural legacy of Gallery 7, one of the first galleries in Detroit dedicated to the work of Black artists. Founded by Charles McGee, Gallery 7 was active from 1970 through 1979, and was central in establishing Detroit's artistic legacy and place in the national Black Arts Movement.
