For over thirty five years, the Washburn Gallery has organized carefully
selected exhibitions of works by major 19th and 20th century American
artists. The gallery opened in 1971 and immediately was recognized by
museums and collectors for the quality of its shows. During the inaugural
season, the gallery presented the first New York exhibition of paintings by
Joshua Johnson (active c. 1797 - c. 1820), the earliest known
African-American artist; paintings by Martin Johnson Heade; and in contrast,
1930s and 1940s paintings by Jean Xceron.
The Washburn Gallery has continued an active, innovative schedule of
exhibitions including the Stieglitz Group; American Abstract Artists of the
1930s and 1940s; the Abstract Expressionists and contemporary artists.
Exhibitions have been devoted to unusual facets of the careers of artists
such as Stuart Davis, Charles Demuth, Burgoyne Diller, Arshile Gorky, Ammi
Phillips and Albert Pinkham Ryder.
The Washburn Gallery represents a number of Estates and Foundations including Ilya Bolotowsky, Ray Parker, Jackson Pollock, David Smith (1930s and 1940s paintings), Leon Polk Smith, and George Sugarman. The gallery also represents contemporary artists including Varujan Boghosian, Tom Levine, Gwynn Murrill and Jack Youngerman.
