Description
Founded by Nicholas Acquavella in the early 1920s, the gallery specializes in movements ranging from Post-Impressionism and Cubism to Surrealism and postwar art. Visitors are buzzed in at the front door, greeted, and handed a guide to the exhibitions, which are laid out in a museum-style display. The works are spread across three moderate-sized spaces, offering an opportunity to view high-caliber art—such as past exhibitions dedicated to Matisse—completely free of charge.
