Mark McDonald opened Fifty/50 in NYC in 1982 with Ralph Cutler and Mark Isaacson. Over the next ten years the partners pioneered the researching, exhibiting, marketing, and selling of what has become known as Mid-Century Modern. In 1995, McDonald opened the Gansevoort Gallery, and in 2003 he launched his latest venture, Mark McDonald, in Hudson , continuing the tradition of collecting, exhibiting and selling fine examples of the mid-century period, in a 8,000-square-foot, circa 1910 department store.  In the past 22 years Mark has also provided appraisal services for many leading collectors and museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Brooklyn Museum, The Museum of Modern Art, The Musee des Arts Decoratifs de Montreal, The Victoria and Albert Museum, and The Vitra Museum of Design. He is frequently cited as an expert in national publications and has provided information for numerous books on the subject of design of the 1930s through the 1970s.
