Kehidupan awal
Maureen Paley was born in New York, daughter of Alfred Paley and Sylvia Paley; he attended Sarah Lawrence College, and graduated from Brown University in 1975. His art appeared on the cover of the 1973 Summer edition of Sarah Lawrence Magazine.
He received Russian training as a ballet dancer. He emigrated to England in 1977, attending The Royal College of Art, where he obtained his MA in photography. In 1978, he met and became one of London's first friends Helen Chadwick, who, like Paley, lives on Beck Road, Bethnal Green. Paley and other friends took part in Chadwick's first London show, a feminist show entitled In the Kitchen , by binding themselves in a chef's canvas model. Chadwick guided Paley in converting his home into a space for art exhibitions. Paley says, "Helen always talks about expertise - a constant source of information".

1980s
In 1984, Paley started a gallery program in a Victorian-style house. During the late 1980s, he exhibited examples of contemporary art by Tim Rollins and K.O.S., Sarah Charlesworth, Charles Ray, Mike Kelley, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Rosemarie Trockel, and GÃÆ'¼nther FÃÆ'¶rg. The first artists that Paley exhibited as "represented" artists were Langlands and Bell, Hannah Collins, Angela Bulloch, and Helen Chadwick.
1990s
From December 1990, through December 1991, the gallery, known as the Interim Art, moved to Dering Road in central London, close to the Anthony d'Offay Gallery.
In the early 1990s, the gallery presented several exhibits made by a group of emerging artists who came to be known as YBA - including, Henry Bond, Angela Bulloch and Liam Gillick. Over the years he developed the careers of Gillian Wearing and Wolfgang Tillmans. During the 1990s, Paley represented artist and designer Toby Mott. At the moment, he is an associate of Joshua Compston.
In 2000, Matthew Collings said, "everyone knows who the good YBAs are: the Maureen and the unrealistic colleagues have signed up!" He was called by the East End realtime pioneer, after being served there before it was fashionable. He said of London, "There is an extraordinary talent here, it is more talent than the market," and that "the problem lies in the limited interest of the audience, the changes and the novelty are always very dubious in England." This gallery suffered losses for nearly a decade, and was supported by Arts Council grants and other patronage grants. Paley herself served for many years on the advisory committee for the Arts Council and the Arts Council of London, and received a travel grant from the Arts Council during his tenure.
In 1994, he was one of the 35 art world signatories in the Evening Standard demanding that art critic Brian Sewell be fired for his "artistic bias". A letter in response from 20 other signatories of the art world accuses writers of censorship efforts to promote "endless conceptual art programs in all major London venues".
On the morning of March 15, 1996, Chadwick visited to pick up a fax, while Paley was busy on the phone. Chadwick died on that day from a heart attack, during a visit to the Association of Architects.
In September 1999, the gallery moved to Herald Street in Bethnal Green, occupying a "chic new industry space." The Paley base in the area is a precedent for leading galleries such as the White Cube and Victoria Miro to also be found in the East End. "
Curated exhibit
In 1994, Paley made an event at the Camden Art Center by Joseph Kosuth, Ad Reinhardt and FÃ © Â © lix GonzÃÆ'¡lez-Torres. In 1995, he presented a Wall Wall that featured wallpapers by artists including Daniel Buren, Michael Craig-Martin, Douglas Gordon, Barbara Kruger, Sol LeWitt, and Lawrence Weiner. National Tour Fair Exhibition goes to the Serpentine Gallery, London, Southampton City Art Gallery, and Leeds City Art Gallery. In 1996, for Henry Moore Sculpture Trust, Paley curated The Cauldron, an exhibition of works by the Young Artist of England - Christine Borland, Angela Bulloch, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Steven Pippin, Georgina Starr and Gillian Wear. It was installed in the Trust studio room in Dean Clough, Halifax.
2000s
In 2000, Paley held The Agony and the Ecstasy, the first performance of Rebecca Warren, who had approached her with polaroid in the bar, after Paley gave a lecture at her art school.
He said in 2001, "Being a creator of taste - someone who creates the future - needs a delicate balance, you have to be your time - if you are too far ahead, you will be misunderstood."
In 2004, the gallery name was changed from Interim Art to Maureen Paley. In 2006, when asked why many women have succeeded in contemporary art, Paley said,
"Art is one of the last unregulated markets.No male goalkeeper and you are not limited to traditional alpha-male values.That makes it very attractive to a certain type of woman with a strong personality, who will not fit with cookie cutter work environment, such as investment banking. "
In 2007, artist Gillian Wearing was elected to the lifetime membership of the Royal Academy of Art in London (an institution founded by a kingdom letter by King George III, in 1768), that is, she became "Royal Academician."
Paley is one of the judges of New Sensations, a competition for art students promoted by Channel 4 and Saatchi Gallery. Jo Craven said in The Daily Telegraph that Paley is one of only five female gallery owners in London. The Evening Standard includes him in London the 50 most influential people in art and design in 2008 and 2009.
In 2009, he was placed in 87 (from 70 years earlier) in Power 100's list of ArtReview's world. The quote draws attention to the presence of gallery artists at major events, such as Michael Landy at Tate Liverpool, Rebecca Warren at the Serpentine Gallery and Wolfgang Tillmans at the Venice Biennale. His own gallery program has an unpredictable agenda, ranging from abstract paintings by David Ratcliff, a new Los Angeles artist, to a long movie by Lars Laumann about a prisoner being sentenced to death. With a fund of £ 25,862 from The Art Fund and as a partial gift from artist and Paley, the Arts Council bought nine framed photographs of Tillmans prints for a total of £ 51,724.
In August 2009, reflecting YBA's artistic heritage, Paley said, "The thing that comes out of the YBA generation is courage, the belief that you can do anything."
In 2009, Paley was elected to the Executive Committee of the London Art Merchants Association.
2010s -
In 2010, Paley was one of a group of art traders including Sadie Coles who became the selection committee for the Frieze Art Fair.
She supports the Artists' Space program, Creative Industries Federation, Open School East, Serpentine Gallery, The Showroom, Studio Voltaire, and White Columns. Paley is also the patron of Camden Art Center, Chisenhale Gallery, ICA, London, Michael Clark Company, South London Gallery, Tate, and Whitechapel Art Gallery.
