CherryStoneGallery is delighted to announce our 35th ANNIVERSARY! We can hardly believe it? We started out as a grassroots project exhibiting a few local artists in Cora Holbrook’s empty and abandoned general store on Railroad Avenue where her father also kept horses in the back room some years earlier. Not long after, we began showing work by Robert Motherwell, Jack Tworkov and Berenice Abbott. We hosted print exhibitions of work by Jasper Johns, Robert Rauschenberg and Roy Lichtenstein compliments of Leo Castelli Gallery in NYC.
Like a small museum, albeit a repository, we continue to promote local and world-class artists placing a greater importance on the work rather than on sales first. ,Without compromise, we continue to advocate and promote the ongoing accomplishments ever evolving from within the Provincetown artists’ colony, greater New York and Boston. ,As year-round art dealers we continue to run a summer gallery showcasing a “galaxy of modernists” as we have done for three and a half decades. ,In view of this Cherry Stone Gallery continues to promote the best names in the business that produce extraordinary work of outstanding quality here on the Outer Cape.
Over the years our gallery has remained small and personable which Motherwell enjoyed a great deal having once said it reminded him of “how galleries were in the old days”. Consistent with the gallery’s reputation our goal continues as it always has: to further the careers of our artists as we champion their personal and artistic achievements; to maintain professional exhibitions and to educate an ever expanding community of collectors so that we may better assist them with their acquisition process. Building lasting relationships with artists and collectors who have traveled through the cultural world of Provincetown, Truro and Wellfleet shall remain a time-honored tradition and a priority.
The Outer Cape has long been a destination for artists seeking inspiration from its unusual light, sinuous landscape and dramatic sunsets. These natural treasures have inspired perceptual expressions by visual thinkers dating back to the early part of the last century. By way of intrinsic necessity we move forward to embrace this tradition as we give standing ovation to all of the great minds we have known and admired.
The Cherry Stone Gallery welcomes your enthusiasm and enlists your support as we venture through another fabulous season.
