LewAllen Contemporary is a premier gallery of contemporary art with 11,000 square feet of museum-like exhibition space in the heart of Santa Fe. The gallery has been in continuous operation for more than 30 years. During that time, it has earned a reputation that is both national and international for representing some of the nation’s most renowned living painters and sculptors. Founded in 1976 as the Horwitch Gallery by legendary Santa Fe and Scottsdale art dealer Elaine Horwitch, it was renamed the LewAllen Contemporary when Arlene LewAllen became its owner. The gallery was purchased by current owners Bob Gardner and Ken Marvel in 2002. To carry on the legacy of both prior owners for fine quality art and personable service, LewAllen Contemporary represents both well known and emerging artists whose work shows vision, originality, intelligence, beauty and technical prowess. The gallery’s diverse roster includes such noted artists as Judy Chicago, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Ben Aronson, Forrest Moses, Hiroshi Yamano, Janet Fish, Emily Mason, Robert Natkin, Meridel Rubenstein, Robert Brady, Beverly McIver, Katherine Chang Liu, Tom Palmore, Darren Vigil Gray, Ed Mieczkowski and Bill Barrett, among others. The gallery features work in a variety of media--mainly painting and sculpture, but also glass, ceramics, tapestry, photography, jewelry and works on paper--and diverse schools of modern and contemporary art, including Realist, Pop, Color Field, Op, Minimalist, Geometric and Expressionist, both abstract and figurative. Some 15 to 20 major solo and group exhibitions are staged in the gallery each year.
