As the owner and director of the Mary Boone Gallery, she played an important role in the New York art market of the 1980s. Her first two artists, Julian Schnabel and David Salle, became internationally known, and, in 1982, she was featured in a cover story on New York magazine tagged: "The New Queen of the Art Scene".[2][3]
Boone is credited with championing and fostering dozens of contemporary artists including Eric Fischl, Ai Wei Wei, Barbara Kruger, Laurie Simmons, Peter Halley, Ross Bleckner, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Originally based in SoHo, Boone operated two galleries, one on Fifth Avenue, the other in Chelsea.
Following her 2019 conviction for tax evasion, she indicated the intention to close both galleries.[4]
