Cooke Maroney

Cooke Maroney is an American art gallery director. He has served as the director of Gladstone Gallery since 2022 and previously worked at Gagosian Gallery. He and actress Jennifer Lawrence married in 2019.

Early life

Maroney was born on July 3, 1984, to James Maroney, an art dealer, and Suki Fredericks, in New York City. He has a younger sister, Annabelle, born around the time Maroney began kindergarten. In 1986, the family moved to Leicester, Vermont, to have a quieter life. They began Oliver Hill Farm, a 750-acre dairy and animal farm in 1990, one of the first such farms in Vermont. A 1994 fire ruined much of the farm; as of 2015 the family has been renting the land to organic farmers who use it for hay, feed, and pasture.
After graduating from Middlebury Union High School, Maroney earned a degree in art history at New York University, graduating in 2007.

Career

After graduating from college, Maroney began a job at the Gagosian Gallery in Manhattan, New York City. He then became the director-at-large of Gladstone 64, the Gladstone Gallery's Upper East Side location. Maroney has had several notable clients, including Matthew Barney, Anish Kapoor, Richard Prince, and Carroll Dunham, who has some of his art on display in Maroney's gallery.

Personal life

Maroney met actress Jennifer Lawrence in May 2018, through friend Laura Simpson. They began dating the next month, got engaged in February 2019, and married on October 19, 2019, at the Belcourt of Newport mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. They have two sons: Cy, born in February 2022; and another born in March 2025. They divide their time between the West Village and Bel Air.
