About lincoln glenn

Lincoln Glenn Gallery’s mission is to present American art from the 19th century through the late 20th century. Exhibiting work from artists of the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, Ashcan School, American Modernism, and Surrealism, the gallery particularly focuses on Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting. The gallery’s program centers around uplifting the legacies and careers of artists working between the 1940s and 1970s who made significant contributions to art history, but who have been under-researched and less commonly published in the decades following.

Founded in 2022, Lincoln Glenn opened its first gallery in the town of Larchmont in Westchester County, New York. One year later, the gallery expanded to a private space at 17 East 67th Street in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, a collaborative space with the longest-operating gallery in New York, Graham Shay 1857. In November 2023, the gallery relocated its Larchmont location to 542 West 24th Street in Chelsea’s noted gallery district, expanding its presence in Manhattan and establishing a dedicated space for exhibitions focused on post-war American art. The two spaces work in tandem, allowing the gallery to present multiple exhibitions each year spanning traditional American art and post-war practices, alongside select primary and secondary market paintings, works on paper, and sculptures to the public.

Lincoln Glenn is honored to represent Sherron Francis and Diana Kurz, as well as the estates of Aaron Bohrod, Calvert Coggeshall, Herbert Ferber, Albert Heckman, Wolfgang Hollegha, Gene Hedge, Nathan Hoffman, Frank Kowing, and Edward Zutrau.

In addition to its program, Lincoln Glenn works in an advisory capacity on acquisitions to private collectors, art advisors, interior designers, and museums. The gallery welcomes all submissions and offers from collectors who wish to sell or consign paintings, sculptures, and estates.
