The Museum of Modern Art’s new wing — which has won praise for boosting displays of female artists — has also quietly named a new gallery after a wealthy couple with controversial ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

The six-story, $450 million addition that opened last week expands MoMA’s gallery space by a third, with prominent placement given to artists like Frida Kahlo, Georgia O’Keeffe and Diane Arbus.

But on the fourth floor of the 102,000-square-foot addition, just to the west of its central “blade” staircase, stands a gallery named after Glenn Dubin, the 62-year-old founder of hedge fund Highbridge Capital, and his wife, Eva.

In an explosive 2015 defamation suit unsealed in August, Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre claimed that in 2001, the predator farmed her out as a “sex slave” at the age of 16 to rich and famous clients including Prince Andrew and Alan Dershowitz — and that Glenn Dubin was her first powerful client.

Dubin was not named as a defendant in that suit, isn’t known to be named in any other, and has vehemently denied the allegations. But he is a longtime friend of Epstein, who reportedly invested $10 million in Dubin’s hedge fund. His wife, a former Miss Sweden, reportedly had dated Epstein before the Dubins’ marriage in 1994.

“The Dubins were horrified by and completely unaware of Jeffrey Epstein’s unspeakable conduct,” a Dubin spokesman said. “They categorically deny the allegations and have evidence disproving them.”

That’s despite reports that the couple had Epstein over for Thanksgiving a year after he was convicted of sex crimes in 2008.

MoMA’s Glenn and Eva Dubin gallery is the latest awkward example of ties between Epstein — who died in jail on Aug. 10 while being held on sex-trafficking charges — and elite institutions he’d funneled money to over the years, including Harvard, MIT and the Council on Foreign Relations.

In the case of MoMA, Epstein was a director of buyout king Leon Black’s charity for more than a decade as it made a series of donations to the museum. Black overall donated more than $40 million to the museum. He became MoMA’s chairman in July 2018.

Black, head of Apollo Global Management, hasn’t been accused of any sex-related crimes. But the billionaire raised eyebrows by listing Epstein as a director at his charity until the end of 2012 — four years after Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a minor for sex. He served 13 months of an 18-month prison sentence.

Black claimed Epstein’s name lingered on the charity’s records because of a clerical error.

Still, in 2011, Black’s four children reportedly teamed up with Epstein to invest in the company Environmental Solutions Worldwide.

Like the Dubins, Black and his wife, Debra, also have a gallery named after them in the new wing. They declined to comment.

The Guerrilla Girls, a group of feminist activist artists known for wearing gorilla masks in public, say the two galleries dedicated to Dubin and Black should be shuttered.

“MoMA should kick Black and Dubin off its board immediately, drape the Leon Black and Dubin Galleries in black, and put up wall labels explaining why,” a Guerrilla Girls founding member who calls herself Frida Kahlo told The Post. “The Guerrilla Girls would be thrilled to help write those labels.”

A MoMA spokesperson declined to comment on the naming of the new galleries.

Among the work that’s hanging in the new Dubin gallery are several photographs of artist Tina Girouard at her 1970s-era artist-run Soho restaurant Food. There is also a work by video artist Trisha Brown, who died in 2017.

“It’s a shame in this uncomfortable situation they can’t speak for themselves,” said Jane Crawford, a close friend of both artists, saying Girouard wasn’t able to comment for health reasons.

“Everyone is so shocked by the Epstein case that it stains everyone associated with him, and unfortunately Dubin falls in that category,” Crawford added. “We certainly can understand how grateful MoMA is for his support, but people are so sensitive to the Epstein scandal, it is uncomfortable seeing his name on the gallery.”

Monica Nagle, an artist who has a traveling exhibition on sexual violence, “Voices from a Missing Dream,” said the new Dubin gallery “leaves a stain on MoMA.”

“On a moral and ethical level, they should name the galleries something else,” Nagle said. “It’s appalling.”
