The Zabriskie Gallery was founded in New York City by Virginia Zabriskie in 1954.
Early years
[edit]Virginia Zabriskie started the art gallery with a one-dollar down payment. It had formerly been the Korman Gallery, a cooperative that included the painters Pat Adams and Clinton Hill (a New York School artist).
Zabriskie Gallery, France
[edit]By the 1980s, Zabriskie had two galleries in New York (one for painting and one for sculpture) and another in Paris. The Paris gallery focused on photography and allowed for a "lively exchange" between American and French artists during the 1980s and 1990s. She was honored in 1999 with the Medaille de la Ville de Paris.[1]
Artists
[edit]Artists who have exhibited in the Zabriskie Gallery include Abraham Walkowitz (Zabriskie held his correspondence and papers). Zabriskie was a supporter of the work of Elie Nadelman and is credited with "rescuing him from neglect."[1] Pat Adams held her first solo show there,[2] and her 2005 exhibition Pat Adams Paintings 1954–2004, held in early 2004 at the Zabriskie Gallery, cemented Adams's reputation as "one of the most important abstract painters."[3] The gallery has also worked with Ansel Adams, Harry Callahan, Alexander Archipenko, Alfred Stieglitz, Dorothea Tanning, Marsden Hartley, Marja Vallila[4] among others.[5]
Current
[edit]The gallery is now located at 57th St and 1st Ave in New York City. The Paris location closed in 1998.[6] Between the years 1992 and 2011 Virginia Zabriskie donated the papers to the Smithsonian Archives of American Art.[5]
