Mark Murray Fine Paintings - New York - USA

.
Mark Murray Fine Paintings is a gallery specializing in European and American paintings from the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is located on the upper east side of Manhattan, on the northeast corner of Madison Avenue and 72nd Street - across from the historic Rhinelander Mansion, now the flagship Polo store. The gallery’s ever-changing collection includes a range of periods and subject matter, including paintings by the French and American impressionists; Pre-Raphaelites; Hudson River School; marine paintings by British and Scandinavian artists; sporting art by British and American painters including racing and hunting subjects; landscapes by Corot and his followers in Barbizon; exquisite views of Italy and Spain; traditional 19th-century sculpture by Barye, Mêne and others; and a substantial selection of Orientalist paintings by artists such as Weeks, Bridgman, and Fromentin. Although most works (oil paintings, watercolours and sculpture) date from 1830-1930, there are often exceptions, such as a group of 18th-century Dutch landscapes, 20th-century marine and sporting works, and several specially chosen contemporary paintings.

Mark Murray Fine Paintings caters to an international group of collectors, designers, and private and public institutions. Several museums have acquired works from the gallery: among them the Dahesh Museum, New York and the San Diego Museum of Art, California. Paintings in the collection or acquired from the gallery have been included in major museum exhibitions at the British Library, London, the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The gallery participates in two major art fairs every year including the prestigious International Fine Art Fair held at the Armory in New York.

The gallery was founded in 1992 by Mark Murray who, after being raised in Oxford, England, obtained a bachelor's degree in art history at Harvard, and spent six years as a senior specialist in 19th-century European paintings at Sotheby’s. Mr. Murray has lectured at classes in art history and arts administration at Columbia University, New York University and Sotheby's Institute; and participated in seminars on art as a part of wealth management, most recently at Alliance Bernstein.
