Kent Fine Art

Kent Fine Art is an art gallery in New York City founded in 1985 by Douglas Walla.

About

Kent Fine Art was incorporated in 1985 and opened at the corner of Madison & 57th Street in the Fuller Building, New York. Since this first location, the gallery has maintained galleries in Soho, and in the Chelsea district, New York. Presently, the gallery is coordinating a number of projects with exhibitions at the National Arts Club, a collaboration with Francis Naumann Fine Art, administration of the Estate of Paul Laffoley, and loans to exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Also having completed the publication of The Essential Paul Laffoley with the University of Chicago Press, it is currently working towards the completion of a monograph documenting the work of Dennis Adams.

With a keen interest in contexualizing its artists and exhibitions, Kent has maintained a rigorous program of research, archiving and publishing. Artists and exhibitions presented have ranged from Surrealism, Symbolism and Dada, to more current artists of conscience, and institutional critique as well as conceptual rigor. Kent Fine Art attempts to provide economic value to collectors by providing thoughtful basis regarding decisions about art rather than financial engineering or gaming the system.
