About
Jill Newhouse Gallery specializes in Master Drawings and was founded in 1980. Beginning with American 19th century artists such as Cropsey, Chase and Homer, the gallery quickly expanded its scope to include European artists such as Corot, Delacroix, Menzel, and Ingres. Expanding further into the 20th century, the gallery now has fine representational examples of works by Bonnard, Matisse, Pissarro, Rodin, Vuillard and others. Our current inventory includes drawings and watercolors of all periods, old master to early modern, with a range that will interest museums, beginning collectors, and sophisticated buyers.
Jill Newhouse Gallery participates in art and cultural events held locally, nationally, and internationally while maintaining a schedule of important exhibitions. Recent shows in the gallery include Auguste Rodin: Intimate Works (2011); Edouard Vuillard: Portraits Reconsidered (2012); and Unknown Corot: Unpublished Drawings (2012), the first exhibition of Corot drawings in the United States. We exhibit in art fairs in New York and internationally including The Art Show at the Park Avenue Armory; Master Drawings, New York; and the Salon du Dessin in Paris. We are also a founding exhibitor in Frieze Masters, London, 2012.
