July Newsletter: Mid-Summer Notes
July’s been full of heat and humidity, but we’re still here—creating new work, helping collectors discover pieces they love, and finding a little time to cool off when we can.
We’re especially excited about this newsletter because the gallery just received a fresh batch of new works from multiple artists—all available to view online. We also completed our monthly refresh of the gallery layout, so there’s plenty of new art on view if you’re nearby. As always, you're welcome to schedule a virtual tour if something catches your eye.

What to Read: Ninth Street Women
By: Mary Gabriel
Set amid the most turbulent social and political period of modern times, Ninth Street Women is the impassioned, wild, sometimes tragic, always exhilarating chronicle of five women who dared to enter the male-dominated world of twentieth-century abstract painting -- not as muses but as artists. From their cold-water lofts, where they worked, drank, fought, and loved, these pioneers burst open the door to the art world for themselves and countless others to come.
What to Watch: Uncovering Jack Whittens Mysterious Abstracts
This short documentary offers a rare glimpse into Whitten’s groundbreaking techniques and creative process. We visit Whitten’s studio in New York, a former firehouse turned “laboratory for acrylic paint,” which remains largely untouched since his death in 2018. There, his daughter and wife explain how the collection of historical images and objects he surrounded himself with gives us a view “inside his brain” and relates to his experiences growing up in the segregated South during the Civil Rights movement. As MoMA curator Michelle Kuo describes, “Whitten transformed righteous anger into a kind of dazzling beauty.”
