Peter Freeman, Inc. was founded in 1990 to specialize in important paintings, sculptures, and drawings of the 20th century, with a particular focus on early Pop and Minimal works. The gallery is now as deeply involved with contemporary art, and represents Silvia Bächli, Mel Bochner, Alex Hay, Michael Heizer, Helen Mirra, commissions by Richard Serra, and the estate of Mangelos (recently the subject of a large museum retrospective touring Europe). We present five exhibitions each year, of both new work and of historical bodies of work by major artists, focused shows exploring significant movements, themes and ideas that have influenced and defined recent culture.
The historic works handled by the gallery over the past eighteen years are broad-ranging and can often be defined by their rarity and significance. For this reason, much of our business has been with museums.
Peter Freeman has also begun to publish scholarly books, including a catalogue raisonné Robert Mangold: Early Works, with text by Robert Storr; and the survey James Ensor: Paintings, with text by Xavier Tricot.
The gallery is also a member of the Art Dealers Association of America.
