Helicline Fine Art proudly announces the opening of its new exhibition, AMERICAN VISIONS: Art of the 20th Century, a celebration of modern American. While the exhibition is online, works can be seen in our midtown Manhattan gallery by appointment. Featuring a passionately curated collection spanning various movements and styles, the exhibition explores American art's diverse expressions from realism and abstraction to outsider art, regionalism, caricature, American Scene and beyond. Included are paintings, works on paper and sculpture. “Embracing a centuries old paradigm, we are collectors turned dealers,” said gallerists Keith Sherman and Roy Goldberg. “We fell in love with the WPA period three decades ago and have amassed a substantial collection that has grown and expanded stylistically over years. We became art dealers when we ran out of wall space but the teeming desire to live with more art grew.” As the title notes, the exhibition is all American and are predominantly works from the 1920s-40s. Highlights include: - Several works depicting New York City bridges, by Reginald Marsh, John Marin and Cecil Bell are included, along with a number of works showing other sides of NYC. - A rare and intriguing 1948 oil, “Obsessive Theme,” by O. Louis Guglielmi, and a monumental mid-Century James Daugherty abstract. - The traffic of New York from the hand of Tony Bennett (yes, that Tony Bennett) and a theatre audience by Leon Bibel. - Outstanding examples of outsider art by Purvis Young and Ralph Fasanella, including a work he created the very first year he began painting. - Al Hirschfeld original drawings and lithographs. - A stunning WPA era mural study by Seymour Fogel. The exhibition underscores the rich diversity of American artistic voices and offers a compelling exploration of how modern American art has continuously evolved and influenced the broader cultural narrative throughout the decades.
