GALLERY HISTORY
The Figure, San Francisco Bay Area and Latin American Art
The George Adams Gallery was originally established as the Allan Frumkin Gallery, Chicago, in 1952. The Allan Frumkin Gallery, New York opened in 1959 and George Adams began his association with the gallery in 1980. In 1988 the name was changed to the Frumkin/Adams Gallery, which it remained until Allan Frumkin’s retirement in 1995, when the name was changed once more to the George Adams Gallery. In the summer of 2005 after 46 years on 57th Street, the gallery relocated to West 26th Street in Chelsea.
The George Adams Gallery represents and regularly exhibits the work of 25 artists ranging from very established to emerging. Several - Jack Beal, Roy De Forest, James McGarrell and Peter Saul - have been with the gallery since the early 1960s, while others, such as Lesley Dill, became associated with the gallery more recently. In fact, the gallery has continually introduced younger, emerging artists over the years; many who have since gone on to achieve significant reputations. Since 1990 the gallery has given artists James Barsness, Jose Bedia, Don Colley, Valerie Demianchuk, Diane Edison, Amer Kobaslija, Anthony Kulig, Andrew Lenaghan, Arnaldo Roche Rabell, Sandy Winters and most recently Yoan Capote their first solo exhibitions in New York.
REALIST AND FIGURATIVE ART
The gallery has long been known for representing Realist and Figurative artists such as Jack Beal, James McGarrell, and James Valerio, as well as handling works by Alfred Leslie and Philip Pearlstein. The gallery also represents a number of younger Realists, including Valerie Demianchuk, Diane Edison, Andrew Lenaghan and Amer Kobaslija.
CALIFORNIA/BAY AREA PAINTING AND SCULPTURE
The gallery has also been a showcase for artists associated with the San Francisco Bay Area. The gallery represents the estates of Robert Arneson (1930-1992) and Joan Brown (1938-1990), Roy DeForest, and Richard Shaw, who have been associated with the gallery since the 1970s or earlier. More recently artists Chester Arnold, James Barsness, Enrique Chagoya as well as the Estate of Joyce Treiman have been added to this list. The gallery also handles works on resale by H.C. Westermann and William T. Wiley.
LATIN AMERICAN ART
The gallery has had a long involvement with contemporary Latin American art going back to exhibitions of paintings and sculpture by Matta in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Latin American artists who had their first solo exhibitions in the United States with the gallery include Luis Cruz Azaceta (1978), Jose Bedia (1991), Rosana Palazyan (1998) and Yoan Capote (2004). The gallery also exhibits the work of Arnaldo Roche Rabell, as well as works from the estates of Carlos Alfonzo (1950-1991) and Juan Francisco Elso (1956-1988).
