From the owner: Robert Kidd Gallery was founded in 1975, and achieved early notoriety through the caliber and…read moreconsistency of its exhibitions, and a growing stable of prestigious artists with whom the gallery became affiliated. In addition to the works of emerging contemporary artists, the gallery roster became further distinguished by the works of numerous prominent modern masters including Milton Avery, Harry Bertoia, Helen Frankenthaler, Marshall Fredericks and Larry Rivers. In 2015, Robert Kidd Gallery's most recent chapter began under the new ownership of Gerard Marti. Along with a continuing program of exhibitions and events, the gallery's current inventory of artwork includes an exciting array of paintings, sculpture, pop art, photography and prints by leading creatives in the field.Gerard Marti, owner of Robert Kidd Gallery, was born in Marseille, France and schooled at École des Beaux Arts in Paris. After school, Gerard became a musician, songwriter, sound engineer, record producer, and video director for EMI Records. In the early 1990s, after years in the recording industry, Gerard was inspired to merge his love of art and pop culture through a gallery venture that specialized in artworks by celebrities and musicians. Since that time, Gerard has been involved in the gallery business in Maui, Hawaii and Los Angeles, California. In 2015, Gerard moved to Birmingham, Michigan to devote his time to his most recent endeavors at the Robert Kidd Gallery.

The one big downside to this gallery was that it was not air-conditioned on a recent warm summer…read moreday when I visited. A friend and I sweated our way through both floors of the gallery because they had some interesting pieces, but it was cooler outside in the breeze. That being said, this gallery has an eclectic selection of paintings, prints and sculptures, including some lifelike and life-size sculptures and more abstract pieces. Some of the "art" was so immersed in pop culture (a painting based on the Family Guy cartoon? Puh-leez...) that I thought it was kind of junky. However, I liked a lot of the paintings and almost all the sculptures, including some great bronze sculptures by Yuroz. The building itself is pretty cool, too. There's a glass atrium at one side where some sculptures are on display, and there's a spiral staircase up to the second floor.

Review is for a private party at a home - cannot comment on the store front…read more My sister-in-law had a portion of her bachelorette party at home and Painting Sensations did an at-home painting party. The bride picked the painting for the group which was a sunset with a palm tree. Larisa was very sweet and came early to my in-laws home to set everything up an hour or so before the party started. Larisa had an easy breezy attitude which I think helps with the pressure of others wanting to do a good job with their painting. She did a great job explaining how to paint our painting and was non-judgmental of everyone's work. She was also funny and personable - you can tell she is passionate about her business! The price was $35/person and the painting lasted 2 hours total. We all gave her cash. All the supplies were provided and all the ladies had a great time. Once our paintings were dry, Larisa took a picture of us and our creations.

You check out the calendar online, pick the painting class you'd like to attend, show up, and paint! They play some good music and the instructor paints along with you. This is not paint by numbers, or having a pre-sketched canvas. You sketch out your picture, and the insturctor teaches you how to paint! Classes last about 2 hours. You will be amazed at how much you can get done in 2 hours! They also have classes for Tots and Parents! This is a good time, and something totally different to do! Check it out!

These tiles which were the focus of my trip can be used as standalone art pieces, high end artistic back splashes, accent pieces and the list goes on and on. I am considering buying a beautiful Calaveras tile (Mexican Day of the dead celebration represented by colorfully decorated skull) for the tequila station I have in my basement bar. This is just one example of the some of the uses for these artistic tiles as they can add beauty in so many ways to your home. Overall I am a big fan of this business. If you enjoy browsing unique artwork and/or are looking for some accent art to add to your home than this is a business you should definately check out the next time you are in downtown Northville.

I kept asking about piece after piece and Ronél Ströh never made me feel like I was wasting her time. Over the course of the trip she really learned my taste and found a stunning painting by Jim Warren. She Tracked it down in the catalog, wasn't even on the ship. She just knew I'd want it. Over different days she explained the difference between lithographs, serigraphs, hand-embellished pieces. I price-checked in front of her, never felt embarrassed. Didn't buy until basically the last day. Zero pressure, ever. I Left with two Kre8s, a Peter Max, a Fazzino, and that Warren. About the pricing, yes it's above street market, but the frames alone are stunning. I tried framing the complimentary lithographs I received and got a reality check fast on what framing actually costs. So honestly, the framing alone and when you include shipping is already at least 250+ everything arrived faster than I expected, beautifully packed. No issues whatsoever. One thing nobody mentions: once you buy, suddenly everyone on the ship has an auction story. There's this whole little art community that forms onboard. Genuinely fun. Go for the free drink. See what happens. I sincerely smile every time I see these prices and am so glad and feel cool to say I own fine art. Thanks Park west and thanks especially Ronnie.
