An American Art Blog by Spanierman Gallery, LLC

Welcome to The Spanierman Gallery Blog, a supplemental forum to our website that will provide you with information on American art through a variety of media and encourage dialogue.

Some post topics will include:

--video discussions and interviews with Ira Spanierman who began his career in the art world in his father’s auction gallery in the 1940s. He has a vast and perhaps unmatched body of experience and knowledge of American art and the New York art world as it has unfolded over the decades. Ira’s observations on art, based on his years of looking deeply and developing a rich appreciation for artists and their achievement, have always drawn a following, which we hope to share with a broader audience. (See Ira’s past video discussions on YouTube.)

--research in progress, in which our research and archives departments will share the perplexing and intriguing problems that arise in cataloguing and placing works of art in their proper context.

--interviews with contemporary artists whose work we are exhibiting at Spanierman Modern and Spanierman Gallery, LLC at East Hampton.

--links of interest and relevance to the gallery’s holdings and exhibitions and information on exhibitions, events, and lectures that we feel you might enjoy.

--thoughts and advice from our staff on such topics as handling a work of art, framing, photography, and keeping track of auction activity.

We are pleased to receive and respond to any questions, inquiries, or suggestions.
