Bert Gallery

Now open is our pocket exhibit, The Artist’s Venice, which runs from September 28 through November 12, 2011. Venice is a magical city whether you visit today or look at 18th Century Venetian paintings by Canaletto. Views of the Piazza San Marco, the Grand Canal, or the Rialto Bridge are popular subject matter for painters. The Artist’s Venice is a small show of 10-15 paintings by a variety of American artists, including Mabel Woodward and Henry Kenyon from the turn of the century, to 20th century painter Gordon Peers and street photographer Carmel Vitullo.

Now open is our main exhibit, Gallery Collection: New Inventory, which runs from September 21 through October 29, 2011. The business of art is always in flux, new paintings coming in while others are going out. Since 1985, Bert Gallery has sold paintings primarily by 19th and 20th century regional artists. There are many reasons why paintings come to the market. People move and need to downsize their painting collection, collectors de-accession to collect in a new area, and kids inherit paintings they don’t want! For all of those reasons the Gallery Collection: New Inventory exhibit will showcase new works that have come for sale in recent months. There will be a selection of 40 works of art on view. Stop by Bert Gallery to see the exhibit and click here to view our virtual slideshow.

Upcoming Exhibits, End of September:
- Gallery Collection: New Painting Inventory
- Pocket Exhibit: The Artist’s Venice

Painting Featured at Right:
H.A. Dyer, Old Venetian Doorway, 16″ x 12″, Doll and Richards exhibition label. H.A. Dyer Inscription: “Old Venetian Doorway in the part of the City behind the Piazza of St. Marco. I think the name of the Canal is called Rio St. Maria or Rio della Madonna. Done is 1929. This quarter of the town is to have the front re-plastered so perhaps this is the last time we can paint in this part of Venice until the new cast of plaster rums off. H.A. Dyer”
