American Modernism from the Estate of a Private Collector, New York

Schoelkopf Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of exceptional American Modernist works from the Estate of a New York private collector. Drawn entirely from a singular private collection, the exhibition brings together works by artists who—whether widely celebrated or lesser-known—helped define a new artistic identity in the United States in the early 20th century. The works presented evince a deeply personal approach to collecting, and the compositions themselves reveal the tensions and triumphs of a nation negotiating modernity through their depictions of industrial growth, shifting landscapes, and the emergence of new techniques. Featuring paintings, works on paper, and sculptures from the 1900s through the 1950s, the exhibition highlights the evolving vocabulary of American Modernism, its restless experimentation, its move toward abstraction, and its pursuit of a uniquely American visual language. The exhibition includes works by George C. Ault, Milton Avery, George Bellows, Oscar Bluemner, Stuart Davis, Charles Demuth, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Edward Hopper, Walt Kuhn, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Charles Sheeler.
