About Spanierman Gallery - New York, NY - American Art of the 19th and 20th Century
Some time ago, there was quite a wonderful little shop called Old World Antiques on 57th Street between Park and Lexington Avenue. It was presided over by my great uncle Fred Spanierman, who left Vienna in 1902. Nearby was the old Savoy Art and Auction gallery located at 5 East 59th street (later it moved to 50th street across from Saint Patrick’s Cathedral). It was founded in 1928 and was presided over by my father, Samuel Spanierman.

And now, Spanierman Gallery, LLC is located at 45 East 58th street right between those old memories – and is presided over by myself, Ira Spanierman and my son, Gavin Spanierman.

For more than half a century, Spanierman Gallery, LLC, has been dedicated to dealing in the finest nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American art. In September of 1994, the gallery moved from 50 East 78th Street (its location for almost thirty years), to a luxurious new space at 45 East 58th Street directly across the street from the Four Seasons Hotel. With 12,000 square feet of space, the gallery presents exhibitions of the highest quality including works on loan from museums and private collections, as well as works from our own holdings. The gallery is distinguished for its scholarship and actively supports research in American art. In addition, I am currently co-author on the forthcoming catalogue raisonnés on the art of American Impressionists, John Henry Twachtman, Theodore Robinson, and Willard Metcalf. I am also sponsoring the Lloyd Goodrich, Edith Havens Goodrich, and Whitney Museum of American Art catalogue raisonné of the work of Winslow Homer. We have just completed publishing Volumes I and II of the five Volume Record of Works by Winslow Homer. These publications will be definitive reference sources on their respective artists. Recently, Spanierman Gallery sponsored Winslow Homer: Masterworks from the Adirondacks which opened on June 21, 2004 at the New York Historical Association/Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York.
