George Krevsky Gallery specializes in 20th century American art in the figurative tradition emphasizing the Ashcan, Regionalist, Modernist and Social Realist schools. The gallery is committed to showcasing art of the highest quality that documents the cultural history of the last century. The guiding philosophy is to make historically significant fine art accessible to all levels of collecting.

Beginning its scope with the rise of urban scene painting during the Ashcan period, the gallery features the paintings and prints of Bellows, Sloan, Luks, Shinn and the later Reginald Marsh. The theme of urban imagery and political activism continues with social realists Ben Shahn, Jack Levine, Ruth Gikow and the Soyer brothers. The gallery shows Depression-era WPA art with Regionalist works both by national leaders Benton, Curry and Wood and also California practitioners of the style such as John Haley, Erle Loran, and Dorothy Winslade. Also exhibited are Post Armory Show Modernists including Steiglitz circle artists Arthur Dove and Stuart Davis, Precisionists Louis Lozowick and Howard Cook and the individual styles of Milton Avery and Rockwell Kent. Gallery takes pride in its groundbreaking historical exhibitions and its status as a primary resource for early 20th century American art on the West Coast.

George Krevsky Gallery compliments historical works with a select group of Northern California contemporary artists whose work is consistent with the gallery's direction. These artists, Nancy Calef, Anthony Dubovsky, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Walter Kuhlman, Glenna Putt, Mary Robertson, Debra Walker, and William Wheeler all live and work in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Gallery also represents the estates of several important California artists.

George Krevsky has been in the art business in San Francisco since 1978. After serving as a gallery director and private dealer in the Bay Area for fourteen years, he opened the Gallery in the Union Square district of downtown San Francisco in December 1992. Mr. Krevsky has been a board member of the San Francisco Art Dealer's Association since 1996.
