Bert Gallery

Podcast
In August, during the Passionate Collector exhibit, we hosted a program, A Conversation with Collectors, that explored the different perspectives on art collecting. We have posted this podcast – enjoy, and check out some of our past podcasts.

Blog
Our Blog is meticulously updated by Rachel Golub, with all of the programs, exhibits, and happenings at the gallery. It is a great resource not to forget! Meanwhile, our Facebook guru, Elizabeth Sawtelle, connects you with gallery happenings.

At the Gallery
Past exhibitions can be found under the At the Gallery section of the website. Like our blog, it is a great archive resource to check out an exhibit you missed, or details on a particular painting. We are sometimes a little tardy marking sold items from past exhibits, so e-mail us if you have any questions about any of our paintings.

User Testing
We just finished a user testing on our website. Thank you to all who volunteered. We are going back to the drawing board to see how we can make the website better!

New Online Exhibit

The Estate Artists section of the website has been updated. Bert Gallery manages seven artist estates and you can take a peek at the inventory catalogued. The latest slideshows launched include Louise Marianetti and Edna Martin.

Don’t forget to take a look at our Biography section of the website when you are looking for biographies on local historic Rhode Island artists.

Currently on exhibit in The Passionate Collector, there is a remarkable series of etchings by Anton Schutz, showing Tokyo in 1928. Google “Niijinbasho” and compare our 1928 version with the 2011 view today! Get a quick summer fix by viewing our On the Waterfront slideshow. And don’t forget our Online Exhibits.

The Bert Gallery website is a great resource on research on Rhode Island artists, including our Podcast section. Our current exhibit, Gallery Collection: Top Ten, features the work of Rhode Island artists who have come to the attention of art critics and academics. Listen to two podcasts on artists James Drummond Herbert and Sydney Burleigh to find out about their contributions to the art world.

Field and Flower, our new pocket show, celebrates Spring and includes the color saturated works of Paula Martiesian and Robert Thornton. Listen to interviews with both of these contemporary artists. There are two new postings in our Attic Sale and Art Market section – a beautiful Cirino in our New Inventory and a look at a Gordon Peers watercolor, San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice.

Marianetti was an expert in picking apart the every day, exposing the brooding dark magic that lives inside of everything that seems beautiful on the surface. – Dana Rae Laverty
