The gallery was initially named Interim Art and its original premises were opened in 1984 at gallerist Maureen Paley’s Victorian terraced house in London’s East End. The gallery moved to its present location at 21 Herald Street, Bethnal Green in September 1999 and changed its name to Maureen Paley in celebration of its 20th anniversary.

Artists it represents include Turner prize winners Wolfgang Tillmans and Gillian Wearing, as well as recent Turner Prize nominee Rebecca Warren. Also represented are up and coming artists such as Beck’s Futures nominees Donald Urquhart, Daria Martin, Seb Patane and Beck’s futures winner Saskia Olde Wolbers as well as rising British artists Anne Hardy and Hannah Starkey.

Maureen Paley was one of the first to present work in London’s East End and has been a pioneer of the current scene promoting and showing art from the USA and continental Europe as well as launching new talent directly from the UK.

Maureen Paley herself, the gallery's founder and director, was born in New York, graduating from Brown University before coming to the UK in 1977 where she took her masters in photography at The Royal College of Art.
