I merely happened upon Bilotta Gallery but what a good happening upon it was. The Bilotta Gallery is loaded with some of the most splendid pieces of contemporary art I've seen with many of their pieces being the works of local area artists. The gallery bills itself as being "The Home of Celebrity Artists," which I really found to be true as it contains some of the works of a well-known actor form a televisions series, one who I would have never expected of being an artist, as well as some works of well-known athletes. I was particularly taken by the works of the late Freddie Pacheco who was the personal physician of Muhammad Ali and well known as the "Fight Doctor" sports commentator in the 1970's.
While there, I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Frank Bilotta who really couldn't have been more helpful, friendly or accommodating and who took the time to explain each work of art along with the history behind it.
I also noted the prices and was surprised...actually shocked...to see how reasonable the prices were in comparison to what I've seen at other galleries for what I would consider similar works. read more
