Welcome to another insightful episode of The M.O. Podcast, where we spotlight the boldest minds shaping the art world today. In this episode, we’re joined by Anat Ebgi, the founder of the renowned Anat Ebgi Gallery, which now spans three vibrant locations across Los Angeles and New York City. Anat’s journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and the power of art to thrive even in the toughest times.

We dive into the origins of her gallery, tracing back to the height of the 2008 recession—a time when launching any business, let alone a project space in the art world, was a daring move. Yet, Anat’s passion and determination led to the creation of a space that quickly gained recognition for its innovative programming and the nurturing of emerging talent. By 2012, this project space had evolved into the Anat Ebgi Gallery, which has since become a cornerstone of the contemporary art scene, known for its dynamic exhibitions and influential presence.

Anat shares the challenges and triumphs of building her gallery during a period of economic uncertainty, her approach to curating in both LA and NYC, and what it takes to maintain a thriving multi-location gallery in two of the world’s most competitive art markets. Join us as we explore Anat’s inspiring story and gain insights into the tenacity and creativity that continue to drive her success in the art world.
