"He's definitely respected," a source told The Cut. "He's not a big player, but he's a player. I'd say he understands what good art is...I know that he likes contemporary but I know he also appreciates modernism. I think he really has solid taste in art and he's a very good art dealer, and I expect a fruitful career out of him." [11]
Maroney has attended a number of "art-world parties." He has been seen at parties alongside Stavros Niarchos and Waris Ahluwalia. "He's definitely fun-loving but I wouldn't say he's out of control," a source told The Cut. "He likes to have fun, a young good [New York] guy who likes to participate and have fun." [11]
Maroney's private Instagram page has several notable followers, such as Paris Hilton, Derek Blasberg, and Anna Wintour's daughter Bee Shaffer. [11]
