ArtHamptons


Art Hamptons was a great success and we truly enjoyed connecting with many of our wonderful clients as well as meeting a plethora of new and eager collectors.

The star of ArtHamptons was by far Jim Rennert who came from Utah to help install and unveil his two new monumental sculptures, Opportunity and A Step Ahead. Both his indoor and outdoor sculptures were incredibly well received and much talked about at the fair.

Another highlight was when Jim's sculpture, The Entrepreneur, sold to a new client, closing out the edition on his breakout piece. It was a profound moment for the artist as well as the collector, who was incredibly happy to have secured such an inspiring piece of art.

We want to thank everyone who came out to see us and we look forward to next years fair!

Robert De Niro, Sr. Exhibition

Robert De Niro, Sr., Three Women, 1968, oil on canvas, 72 x 78 inches

Cavalier Galleries at 34 Main, Nantucket is currently offering a rare peek into the critically acclaimed career of Robert De Niro, Sr. Touching on highlights from the artist's extensive body of work, the show draws parallels between De Niro's unique mélange of abstraction and realism with other prominent Abstract Expressionists who together dominated the New York art scene after 1940. Viewers are immediately drawn into DeNiro's unique artistic vision, sensing something dark and secretive that one cannot quite grasp.

De Niro applied the formal concerns of the Abstract Expressionist movement to a technical framework not unlike realism, making his paintings at once related to the movement and removed from it. This confluence of contradictory ideologies results in an evolved aesthetic that places De Niro in a class of his own.

Selected works include landscapes, still lifes and portraits in oil and pastel created between 1960 and 1987. The collection can be seen alongside the canvases of De Niro's teacher, Hans Hofmann, Cleve Gray, Wolf Kahn, Doris Lee, Reuben Nakian, and Charles Green Shaw. For further information, contact Ron Cavalier at Cavalier Gallery, 34 Main Street, Nantucket, MA, 508-325-4405. An artist biography is available at our website: Robert DeNiro, Sr.

NEW ARTIST: William Beebe


We are pleased to announce a new addition to our stable of exceptional marine painters, William Beebe.

A traditional realist, William paints exclusively in oil as he feels it is the best medium to capture the historical wooden schooners of the 19th and 20th centuries.

A graduate of the University of Maryland in Fine Art, his work has been shown at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine and at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay, Oregon, where he won a Merit award in the 12th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition. Additionally, he has been a part of several Marine Masters Exhibitions in Mystic, Connecticut and Thomaston, Maine and the 26th Annual International Marine Art Exhibition at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport.

Bill currently resides in Williamsburg, Virginia with his wife where he continues his marine painting and to be inspired by his love for the American schooners and life along the coast.
