This December, James Graham & Sons will move to a new location on the Upper East Side of Manhattan at 32 East 67th Street. The gallery will inaugurate the space with an exhibition devoted to the work of Paul Manship, Walter Gay, Norman Bluhm, Guy Pène du Bois and other gallery artists.
“We are pleased to have found such an attractive location for the next 150 years,” noted Robert C. Graham Jr, chairman, James Graham & Sons, referring to the celebration of the gallery’s 150th anniversary this year. “We look forward to continuing to offer important Nineteenth and Twentieth Century American paintings, American and European sculpture, British ceramics and contemporary art in our new space.”
Currently through November 10, the gallery is presenting an exhibition of recent oil painting on wood by Mary McDonnell at the gallery’s current address at 1014 Madison Avenue.
