Mid-Century through 21st Century American & European Paintings

Curating our Collections of Modern Masters
Our Mid-Century through 21st Century Art and Objet d' Art are curated through a multiplicity of resources including; Artist direct acquisition through marketing agreements with our "Featured Artists", artists estate collections, direct purchases of individual works and collections, national and international trade expositions such as ArtEXPO NY, Chicago, LA, and other art acquisition venues.

Our "Featured Artists"are (in our opinion), truly the best of the best from America and Europe...Some of these artists have included: John Modesitt, Henri LePetit, Katherine Brown Galbraith, Peter Keil, Joanna Tlok,  Mike Welton, Pittsburgh's own Mary Lois Verilla, the late Anthony Trasport and Harry Holland, and other modern masters.

​Stop in to visit our Pittsburgh Gallery 
and ask about our collection of Peter Keil paintings
​

Bob Guccione started his career as a full time painter at eighteen when he left his home in New York and ended up in Tangiers to hang out with the likes of William Burroughs and his ilk for comradery and inspiration.  He painted mostly portraits, landscapes with people, still lifes, and abstracts that were influence by his passion for Impressionism, Post-Impressionism and Fauvism...After a dozen years painting and starving in Europe and northern Africa, he set his brushes aside to form a publishing empire of 16 national/international magazines with Omni and Penthouse magazines among his chief publishing accomplishments...And then, finally after nearly three decades of unrivaled success as a publisher he once again returned to his roots and became a world class painter...His works were exhibited in many prestigious galleries, and museum exhibitions and fetched prices ranging from $25,000.00 - $250,000.00 by the time of his death in 2010...Guccione's Mantra.... "My greatest passion has always been art."

​Peter Robert Keil grew up in West Berlin in battered post war Germany in the late 1940s and 50s.  His paintings reflect a unique fascination with people on the fringes of society who may have been pushed too far and have chosen an existence on the other side of society.  Although Keil grew up in drab, un-extraordinary neighborhoods with rows of grey block houses, his neo-expressionist action paintings flow with color and excitement.  Think Jackson Pollack and Willem de Kooning as one... attacking a canvas spread out over his studio floor with music blaring and blood flowing through his veins as he makes his personal statement about what he knows best... human struggle.
