An exhibition of original etchings and drypoints by the artist considered instrumental in bringing this coveted medium to prominence in the American West.
Hansen created these exceptional prints from 1910 until 1939, receiving many awards while exhibiting throughout the United States and internationally. His graphic works are currently represented nationally in over thirty major public and corporate collections.
The late Dallas abstract expressionist painter, Zanne Hochberg had a long career in painting. She recently had a one woman retrospective at the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts in 2011. Her work can be found in the collections of the DMA and the Blanton Museum of Art. Zanne was born in Rochester, NY. She moved to Dallas in 1953, earned her MFA at SMU and continued her painting career here with numerous exhibitions until her death in 2001.
Her canvases are made up of colorful brush strokes, which create everything from unique organic shapes to human figuration. Dallas’ own Rick Bretell has paralleled to Zanne’s work that of works by Joan Mitchell, Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner in a 2016 review.
Please join us for the opening reception of the show here at the gallery on September 21 from 5:30 PM– 9:00 PM. The show will remain up with available works until October 21, 2017. For information and inquiries please contact the gallery directly.

We are pleased to announce our fall 2017 exhibition, American Women Artists: 1860–1960, which explores the journey of women artists during this time as they sought to establish themselves as professionals in an art world dominated primarily by men. The exhibition catalogue opens with an introductory essay by Nicole Amoroso, which highlights the many challenges that these women faced and the ways in which they sought to overcome those obstacles. For example, when necessary, these determined women petitioned for admittance to life drawing classes which had traditionally been open only to men or formed their own artists’ clubs and societies when they were excluded from those already in existence.
Moreover, this exhibition features a wide variety of women artists, including such renowned examples as Mary Cassatt, Lilian Westcott Hale, and Jane Peterson, as well as numerous less familiar names, like Elizabeth Wentworth Roberts, Alice Beard, and Virginia Berresford. The exhibition catalogue contains individual essays on each of these women which delve deeper into their biographies. While their stories are unique, they were united by many of the same struggles which faced all women artists. For instance, many artists such as Mary Cassatt and Laura Coombs Hills chose not to marry because they believed that they could not marry and be professional artists; those who did marry such as Lilian Westcott Hale had to very carefully balance their domestic responsibilities alongside their artistic aspirations. And yet, despite all the barriers that these women faced, they led highly successful careers in which they exhibited widely, supported themselves comfortably through the sale of their work, and achieved considerable reputations during their lifetime. Sadly, history has not been kind to these women, and so many of them have fallen into relative obscurity. At Avery Galleries, we are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase these talented artists once again and grant them the hard-won recognition that they deserve.
In conjunction with this exhibition, Avery Galleries will also be featuring nine contemporary women artists, whose work will be on view during the run of the main exhibition, from October 13th to November 10th, 2017.
Eckert Fine Art is pleased to present Eric Forstmann – Still Workings, a solo presentation of artist Eric Forstmann’s latest paintings. The opening event with the artist will be held from 4-7pm on Saturday, October 14 at 12 Old Barn Road in Kent, Connecticut. The exhibition will continue through November 26, 2017. This is the artist’s 15th solo exhibition with the gallery.
This exhibition is distinguished by a notable change of venue for the artist. A native of Northwest Connecticut, Forstmann has for years focused on the splendor of the local terrain and the characteristics of quintessential New England interior, bric-à-brac, and curio. Of late though, the artist has been working exclusively from a new studio in the revitalizing downtown scene of Torrington, Connecticut. With a studio perched to overlook the main intersection, we see new indicators through Forstmann’s work that change is underway.
Los Angeles, Calif. – September 25, 2017. The Denenberg Fine Arts Gallery has announced a retrospective exhibit, Juan Bastos: California Portraits, opening on November 4th with an invitation-only reception. The show is part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA – Latin American & Latino Art in LA.
The exhibition brings together 35 oil paintings, pastels, and pencil drawings of distinguished Californians and other commissions, painted and drawn by Bastos from 1996 to 2017.
“One of the last and very best portrait artists who still works from life.”
Don Bachardy, Artist
Portraits of Richard Harrison, Sir Ian McKellen, the children of Jimmy and Vicki Iovine, Rudolph Nureyev, Patricia Morison, Lawrence Platt, Don Bachardy, Dr. Alan Shabo, Valerie Sobel, Susan Sontag, Charlize Theron, Gore Vidal, Maria Vidal, Andrew and Erna Viterbi, and Hutton and Ruth Wilkinson will be among the portraits on view. “The opening night is an opportunity for many of my portrait subjects to see their portraits displayed in a group exhibition for the first time,” says Bastos.
“Juan’s portraits from life fuse memory and culture in an honored tradition to give us a rendering of the emotional truth of specific personalities,” says gallery owner Stuart Denenberg.
Juan Bastos: California Portraits is part of the Participating Gallery Program of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles, taking place from September 2017 through January 2018 at more than 70 cultural institutions across Southern California. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty.
Juan Bastos is a Bolivian-American who has lived and worked in Los Angeles for 22 years. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, in 1958, he and his family returned to their homeland 11 years later. In 1979 Juan came to the United States where he enrolled at Georgetown University, later obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and a Master of Fine Arts from Towson University.
Bastos portraits are displayed in private residences, embassies, churches, libraries, universities, government buildings, and corporate offices in California, and throughout the US, South America, and Europe. Commissioning institutions include the University of Southern California, Good Samaritan Hospital, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, George Washington University, and Harvard University.
In 1999 the New York Times featured Bastos in a front page Arts & Culture story about the reemergence of traditional portraiture. Important art collectors Philip Niarchos, Eugenio Lopez, and Pamela Joyner have commissioned Bastos portraits.
Denenberg Fine Arts was established in Boston in 1965, in San Francisco from 1983 to 2001, and since 2002 in a landmark building in the West Hollywood Design District at 417 N. San Vicente Blvd as a private gallery by appointment .
Public Opening: Sunday, November 5, 10am -5 pm
