Nielsen Gallery
Nielsen Gallery is a commercial art gallery originally located on Newbury Street in the Back Bay area of Boston, United States. Founded in 1963 by Nina Nielsen[1] and John Baker, the gallery won “Best Show in a Commercial Gallery in the United States,” prizes from the International Association of Art Critics, in 2005[2] and 2009.[3]
Originally a frame shop that also sold Japanese prints, they began to exhibit paintings in 1973.[4] During the 46 years that the gallery was open in its original building,[5][6][7] and also in its current online and by-appointment incarnation, it has showcased and supported contemporary American artists, especially those creating experimental and avant-garde work.[8] The gallery's spirit was described by Artdeal Magazine as "the warmest, most intense, most powerful and inspirational art experience north of Manhattan.”[9][10]
Artists featured through the gallery have included Jackson Pollock,[11] Joan Snyder,[12] Dexter Lazenby, Nathalie Miebach, James Cambronne, Albert York, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, Jake Berthot, John Walker, Bill Jensen, Anne Harris,[13] Sedrick Huckaby,[14] Gregory Amenoff,[15][16] and John Lees.[17]
