They have some lesser known artists, but most of their exhibitions seem to be from bigger names. I visited for the colorful, powerful, larger than life (literally, with 10-12 foot plus paintings) Kehinde Wiley expose. If you need a refresher, one of his career highlights was painting Barack Obama's presidential portrait. They represent and present a broad range of artists with eclectic styles. I recommend checking in periodically to see if there is anything to interest you.

The Queen Anne cottage is lovely and worth a visit for its architecture alone. The remarkable wisteria shading the front porch leads to a gallery with well curated exhibitions, rooms with graphically effective didactic and archival materials on Hopper's artistic path, and the artist's own bedroom with orginial furnishings and objects. No guards, no stanchions--everything is open and welcoming.

She gave us a brief description of the home. There was an older woman speaking with Sierra. Overhearing their discussion, this woman appeared to some connections with the museum. However, she couldn't even bother to smile or say hello to us. I could on..... We then went into an adjoining room and saw a video about the artist's life. Edward sketched and painted maritime and industrial aged scenes. Also, he sketched pictures of his "relationship" with his wife. Edward's wife Josephine was his muse. She was an artist in her own right. During our visit, Artist Thomas Prose had his nature art on display. Please see attached photos of Prose's works. In the backyard, there are several benches. It appears that the museum has outdoor events. All in all, this small home museum is set up very nicely. Upon entry, there's a cute gift shop of Edward Hopper's books, sketches and more. Street parking is available.

It seems the New York gallery was briefly shuttered due to Covid but is back in the swing of things. Currently, they are showcasing Zachary Armstrong's Twelve Animals which I found to be a very whimsical take on the animals of the Chinese zodiac. The paintings were really textured lending it an air of playfulness. On exhibition as well are Curtis Barnes (We Wear the Mask) and Robert Rauschenberg (Subjective View). Barnes is also based in Dayton, OH but instead of animals, explores the Black experience in the Midwest with an equally lively palette.

Two thumbs up to Gallery 51!…read more My cousin took me on a walking tour of Montclair a few weekends ago and we stumbled upon this little place. The vibrant work of Rasika Reddy caught my eye in the window so we went inside. The space was small and intimate and the gallery owner (and assistant) were both gracious and welcoming... Gallery 51 says they showcase a new artist every few months. If you are ever in Montclair and have the time, it is worth passing by to have a look. There is also a lovely flower shop and a very nice beading & craft store a few doors down... a sweet trifecta of aesthetic and creative goodness on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

A great, ongoing effort by NYU to present fine art to the general public…read more Not a conventional gallery, which can be intimidating to a lot of people, the Windows are an open forum for passerbys to view exceptional art by young and established artists. Broadway Windows is a set of (I think) six windows wrapping around the corner of Broadway and East 10th Street that display sculpture and other art work by artists who use highly inventive techniques. The work on display changes about every two months and is on view 24 hours when installed. Most of the artists exhibited use nontraditional materials (rope, coat hangers, cardboard...) and most of the works have an alive, organic energy about them. The Windows consistently show work that is both challenging to sophisticated art types and appealing to casual viewers, too. It's a perfect example of how to do public art right. NYU offers a counterpart to Broadway Windows, which is over at Washington Square Park. It's called Washington Square Windows, appropriately enough.
