Distinguished for its expertise in the fields of American Impressionism, Realism, and Modernism, Adelson Galleries was originally founded in Boston in 1964 by Warren Adelson, an internationally-recognized authority on John Singer Sargent. The gallery was re-established in New York in 1990, and is located today in a turn-of-the-century townhouse on East 82nd Street.
Adelson Galleries regularly handles works by artists including George Bellows, Frank Benson, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Thomas Wilmer Dewing, Thomas Eakins, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Robert Henri, Winslow Homer, Edward Hopper, Eastman Johnson, John Marin, Georgia O’Keeffe, Maurice Prendergast, John Singer Sargent, Edmund Tarbell, Andrew and Jamie Wyeth, among others. In addition to mounting major exhibitions, the gallery sponsors scholarship in nineteenth- and twentieth-century American art, and is currently the home to both the John Singer Sargent and Mary Cassatt catalogue raisonné projects.
Recent exhibitions include Maurice Prendergast: Paintings of America; Mary Cassatt: Prints and Drawings from the Artist’s Studio; Andrew Wyeth: Helga on Paper; Sargent’s Venice, and Frederic Edwin Church: Romantic Landscapes and Seascapes.
