Stephen
Foster Fine Arts specializes in the works of late nineteenth and early
twentieth century European and American, mid-century American and the contemporary
arts. Our primary focus is on thos artists, American and European, who
have most importantly constituted the defining basis of major nineteenth
and twentieth century avant-garde movements and on those who have most
impacted our current understanding of artistic significance in the context
of twentieth century visual culture. The firm's principals combine long
gallery and art historical experience and have been responsible for the
sale of major work to private collectors, museums, and corporations both
in the Americas and abroad.
Stephen Foster Fine Arts is constructed on a diversified base, combining
a history of gallery experience and extensive publishing, editing, curating
and consulting, that has created a national and international network of
artworld contacts and associations, from both within and outside the trade.
Spanning specialists in all fields of twentieth century European and American
art, this network is composed of scholars, publishers, public and private
art institutions, galleries and dealers, and private collectors. Together,
they constitute a formidable resource for advising and consulting in the
acquisition and sale of work by parties involved in private collecting, museum
collections and art investment transactions. The potential and effectiveness
of this network, based on its expansive radius, lies in its capabilities
for providing a specific focus to a broad variety of emergent private, public,
and institutional collecting situations and for securing informed and productive
relationships among parties engaged in a broad spectrum of artworld agendas
and transactions.
We invite inquiries from collectors, museums, corporations and investment
groups concerning the specifics of our firm's practices and their potential
usefulness to your specific objectives.
