ABOUT

FINE ART

We represent many contemporary New York City artists and hold regular exhibitions and artist receptions.  Owner Doug Smith often says, "There is not a high rise building in FiDi, Battery Park or the Seaport that I have not been in, most of them multiple times, designing a home or office for a client. When they bring me into their private space and ask a recommendation, that is a special moment because they know I do my job well." 

FRAMING

Strong design. On time. Master quality. It's that simple but takes passion to achieve. Our family has been continuously selling art and custom framing in the Financial District since 1981 and we take pride in our depth of knowledge, which extends from framing basic posters to exhibitions for museums and Chelsea galleries.

OUR STORY

Established in 1981 at 68 Greenwich Street, partners Doug Smith and Jane Chun Smith are the second generation to run the gallery, and are focused on creating an art scene in the Financial District. Continually servicing the needs of Wall Street corporations, the gallery has expanded its audience to the community.  Dedicated to showcasing emerging artists from NYC, with an emphasis on the local street art scene, and constantly finding artists and new ways to present them.   The gallery is currently located in 99 Wall Street but has become a virtual company with free (for most items) delivery and pickup in NYC and half of Long Island.
