    Moderne Gallery Is Making A Move! - as always...looking forward, taking the lead ---- From Old City to Port Richmond, Philadelphia, in January 2019 Moderne Gallery, recognized internationally as the prime gallery for studio craft furniture, and as the leading Nakashima dealer in the world, is moving to a new center for high end design, art and antiques in the Port Richmond section of Philadelphia, as of January 2019. The new showroom is not open to the public as of yet, but can be visited by appointment only. It is set to open in the Spring of 2019. Moderne Gallery will be the first tenant in the Showrooms at 2220, a newly restored former mill at 2220 East Allegheny Avenue, (Port Richmond) Philadelphia, PA 19134. The 100,000 square-foot building is owned and managed by Jeffrey Kamal and Joe Holahan, co-owners of Kamelot Auction Company, which holds its auctions and has its offices in the building. "We are not downsizing, or giving up our showroom concept with special exhibitions," says Moderne Gallery founder/director Robert Aibel. "And certainly we will continue to build our business through internet sales." Joshua Aibel, Robert's son, is now co-director of Moderne Gallery and helping to develop this combination of sales concepts. "We see this as an opportunity to move to a setting that presents a comprehensive, easily accessible major art, antiques and design center for our region, just off I-95," says Josh Aibel. "The Showrooms at 2220 offer an attractive new venue with great showroom spaces and many advantages for our storage and shipping requirements." Moderne Gallery's new showrooms are being designed by the gallery's longtime interior designer Michael Gruber of Philadelphia.

BOONE PICKENS COLLECTION CHRISTIE’S NEW YORK | OCTOBER 28, 2020 “All history is a resource from which to draw wisdom. The history of the West is particularly rich in wisdom because of the strength of the individuals who lived it.

  • WESTERN ART GALLERY the Brinton Museum Is Located on the Historic Quarter Circle a Ranch in the Foothills of the Bighorn Mountains
    WESTERN ART GALLERY The Brinton Museum is located on the historic Quarter Circle A Ranch in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains. Bradford Brinton purchased the ranch headquarters in 1923 from the Scotsman William Moncreiffe and used the Ranch House at the Quarter Circle A as a vacation home, spending several months each year in Big Horn. An avid collector of fine art, American Indian artifacts, firearms, and books, Bradford Brinton filled his home with fine and beautiful items. He was personal friends with many artists, such as Ed Borein, Hans Kleiber and Bill Gol- lings, whose art decorated the house. He also collected works by Frederic Re- mington, Charles M. Russell and Winold Reiss. Several of these important works of art are now on exhibit in The Brinton’s Forrest E. Mars, Jr. Building in the Ted and Katie Meredith Western Gallery of Art. Bradford and his sister, Helen Brinton, left an enduring legacy of the golden era of an early 20th Century gentleman’s working ranch. The Wild West had been tamed, the vast rangelands fenced, and motorized vehicles were replacing horses. Americans were clinging to the images of hardy cowboys, noble Indians, and untamed land filled with birds and wild beasts. Bradford and Helen Brinton have helped preserve the feel- ing of the West at that time for all of us to enjoy today. Above: Bradford Brinton and friends riding the Buffalo Bill stage coach, The Brinton Museum Archives Right: Bradford Brinton on his Palomino horse, Pal; the Quarter Circle A Ranch Post; and thoroughbreds on the Brinton Barn grounds, 2015 John Mix Stanley was an artist-explorer known for his landscapes, American In- dian portraits and scenes of tribal life in the American West.

  • PIL Art Tour
    Prepared by Nancy Barthelemy, Archivist The Peabody Institute Library was created with the 1852 donation from native son, George Peabody (1795-1869). Since that time, art has been an integral part of its history. When Eliza Sutton (1806-1889) donated the funds for the Eben Dale Sutton Reference Room to be added in 1869, she paved the way for yet more art to be enjoyed by the citizens of Peabody and beyond. In 2011, the first floor of the Library was renovated. The historic colors chosen for the heart of the Library were based on the palette from the Eben Dale Sutton Room, which now houses the Library’s Archives. The art on display today is as eclectic as the Library’s history. Much of it reflects George Peabody’s influence. Other donations came from Peabody residents and Library trustees. All reflect the belief that art is— and shall remain—an essential facet of our lives. Within our Library are the works of: John James Audubon Abel Nichols Charles Osgood John Jabez Edwin Mayall Aed Arnoult Emile Gruppe Frederick Arnaud Tilt John Edward Jones Thomas Ball Edwin Forbes Frederic Remington George Catlin To left and right: Images re-created in front foyer Upon entering the Library through the front door, the first work of art on view are the stencils located in the foyer in the upper left and right-hand corners of the doorway leading into the first floor lobby.
