Schaller + Jaquish Art Projects - New York - USA

.
The Rhonda Schaller Chelsea gallery (formally Rhonda Schaller Studio) has been renamed Schaller + Jaquish Art Projects, Contemporary Art – NYC, NJ. We have moved to a total online format, and are no longer focused on selling art as a product out of a permanent physical gallery space per the traditional paradigm. As the world changes, we have to adjust. After talking to our core collectors who support our ideas concerning art and collecting, we have left the old model of the art gallery as retail store behind.

We will continue to present shows based on curatorial themes and ideas that interest us in our online Project Room Galleries. As we try and figure out a new, sustainable approach, please consider this effort a work in progress. We gave up our Chelsea gallery space, so due to a lessening of our own overhead costs, we have lowered the application fee for submission, and if the work we are showing is for sale - we will offer artists 100% of the sale proceeds.

In this economy we believe an important attitude change is necessary in the arts. Led by frugality and integrity, we encourage all artists (ourselves included of course) to develop individualism, entrepreneurship and a pioneering spirit. We will continue to engage in what is genuinely creative, productive and nourishing; and recommend the adoption of practices that allow self-sufficiency, self-reliance and yet mutual support to grow from the core of a new community spirit. And we hope the growth of such values will be reflected in our art.

We have always believed that art addresses inner needs, and that the visual represents deeper meanings. Art is not only profound on a human level, it is the doorway to the human spirit, and in a world becoming more chaotic everyday art must become even more accessible in the future. It doesn’t have to be popular, trendy, current, or “now”, and it doesn’t always have to be for sale. It needs to be made and it needs to be seen. We will continue to play our part in the pattern of necessity.

Rehs Galleries - New York - USA

.
The gallery has its roots in the early to mid 20th century. During the late 1930s / early 1940s M. Edwin (“Eddie”) Schillay, an accountant, counted among his clients an antique dealer with a shop in the Greenwich Village area of New York City. This dealer suggested that he consider entering the art or antique business; recommending that he travel to Europe, buy a group of paintings, have them packed and shipped to New York and then sell the works in bulk. Eddie arranged to rent space at the Manhattan Storage Warehouse and traveled to Great Britain to begin his new business venture.

Once in the UK he acquired a selection of paintings, had them packed in a 7 x 7 x 10 foot container, these containers were called lift vans and held between 400-500 paintings, and shipped back to New York City via ocean freight. Once there, the container was brought to his warehouse space and sold in bulk.

Eddie’s sideline business continued for more than a decade, during which time he made many important contacts both in the United Kingdom and United States. By the mid 1950s Eddie’s wife, Ruth, decided that she wanted to work in the art business and they rent a space at 303 Park Avenue South. Here, instead of selling the shipments in bulk to one individual, they opened the crates and began selling the paintings individually; the very early stages of the art gallery. In 1957 Eddie and Ruth’s daughter Ann married Joseph B. Rehs, an accountant.

The firm was reputed to have bought out entire estates and large parts of auctions. Their style of purchasing was so grand that they were written up in The Bournemouth Times, Westbourne, England in November of 1958 when they purchased 60 paintings from one sale. In 1960 the gallery, which was importing between 6000 and 7000 paintings each year (one shipment per month), moved to a larger space at 386 Park Avenue South. The “on hand” inventory consisted of 2000 to 2500 paintings, mainly from the British Victorian period, and ranged in quality from the decorative to the collectable. This same year Eddie became ill and Joseph Rehs went to work in Eddie’s accounting firm; however, it did not take long for Joseph to see that there was more potential in the art business.

By 1961 Joseph was working in the art business on a fulltime basis; traveling to Europe on buying trips, arranging shipments and building both their network of sources and customers. During this period Joseph remembers acquiring works by the British Victorian artist Oliver Clare, putting a frame on them and selling the package for $10; or the time he went out-on-a-limb and acquired a large figure painting by Frederick Morgan for $225 (£75) and sold it for $450 – a huge profit; this same painting reappeared on the market in 2000 and sold for almost $1 million.

In January of 1963 Eddie passed away and it was at this point that the firm’s name (originally known as M. Edwin Schillay) was changed to Schillay & Rehs, Inc. Throughout the 1960s and most of the 1970s the firm was one of the largest importers, to the trade, of 18th and 19th century European paintings. In addition to supplying many of the art galleries and furniture stores in the United States with art, they also held shows at a number of the larger department store chains; these included The J.L. Hudson Company and B. Altman & Company.

In 1978 the gallery moved from its location at 386 Park Avenue South to a larger gallery location at 305 East 63rd Street. Here, while continuing its wholesale business, they also began catering to the interior design trade and their private clients.

As demand for high quality 19th century European works of art increased so did prices. This, in turn, reduced the number of paintings the gallery could import on a regular basis and forced them to give up the wholesale business and concentrate on dealing with private buyers, collectors and museums.

Howard L. Rehs, after graduating from New York University with a degree in Art History, joined the firm in 1981. His first year was spent living in London; during which time he both bought works for the gallery’s inventory and studied the 19th century European painting market. Upon his return to the United States a serious interest in French Academic, Realist and Barbizon art emerged and over the years more works by the masters from these schools entered the gallery’s inventory.

In 1991 Joseph bought out the last of the Schillay family members and the gallery changed its name to Rehs Galleries, Inc. It was also at this point that the gallery began working on the catalogue raisonné projects for Julien Dupré and Daniel Ridgway Knight. In 1995 the gallery moved from its 63rd Street location to its current location at 5 East 57th Street (8th Floor). This same year the gallery was elected a member of the Fine Art Dealers Association and two years later, 1997, Howard was elected President; a position he held until July of 2009. In 2003 the gallery began its Emile Munier online catalogue raisonné project and in 2007 the online project for Antoine Blanchard was launched. In 2008 Howard was appointed to the Internal Revenue Service’s Art Advisory Panel.

Today the gallery specializes in 19th and early 20th century European works of art and displays paintings many important Barbizon, Realist and Academic artists including: Eugene Boudin, William Bouguereau, Jean B.C. Corot, Julien Dupré, Daniel Ridgway Knight, Louis Aston Knight, Edouard Cortès, and Emile Munier. In addition the gallery features works by mid 20th century American artists such as Ilya Bolotowsky and Ugo Giannini and represents a number of Contemporary Realist artist, including Allan Banks, Barry Oretsky, Gregory F. Harris and Sally Swatland.

Cynthia-Reeves - New York - USA

.
CYNTHIA-REEVES represents an international roster of emerging and mid-career artists who share a process-apparent sensibility in their art. We are committed to artwork that demonstrates an authentic voice, an innovative use of materials and an appreciation of the mark in diverse media: site-based installation, video, sculpture, painting and works on paper. A sub-text to the gallery’s program is artwork that provokes a discourse around the convergence of art and science, as well as our relationship to the natural world – a discourse essential to the examination of contemporary art and culture within the context of these broader challenges.

As a way of expanding the gallery model, CYNTHIA-REEVES has initiated a number of innovative, off-site projects, which provide us the opportunity to curate significant exhibitions, and focus on specific and timely issues and/or artists’ works. H20: FILM ON WATER featured over 50 video art projects, as well as site-based installations and photographic works, all concerning the theme of water and our collective relationship to this essential resource. The exhibition was deemed the most significant curated exhibition in New England in 2009. FABRICATIONS, an exhibition also sited in a museum-scale, 20,000 square foot facility, featured twenty conceptual works of spun, woven and sewn materials that were not fabric based. A third large, theme-based exhibition opens the summer of 2011: CONFERENCE OF THE BIRDS.

CYNTHIA-REEVES PROJECTS is a forum for off-site and collaborative projects done in concert with partner galleries and non-profit organizations, including museum exhibitions and other platforms that bring our artists’ works to the attention of a broader audience. Due to our strong focus on sculptural works, we are actively involved with public art projects in the United States and abroad, helping to facilitate installations of large-scale works in the public domain. The gallery is a regular exhibitor at art fairs throughout the United States and abroad.

The gallery’s program frequently supports exhibitions that elaborate the visual and visceral connection between art and science. In 2010, the topics addressed through curated exhibitions included climatic data recapitulated in conceptual, site-based kinetic sculptures by Nathalie Miebach; the link between neuronal activity and electro-magnetism, as explored by artists Claire Watkins and Sheila Gallagher; and genome research as manifested in the paintings and drawings of Daniel Kohn. As artist-in-residence at the Broad Institute at MIT/Harvard, Kohn developed a series of works that have since been exhibited in New York City (Pfizer headquarters) , La Jolla, California (science research facility for Pfizer) , Cambridge, Massachusetts (Broad Institute at MIT), and the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire, providing a platform for dialog around the science of genomics and the visual manifestation of that research.

The gallery has mounted innovative premier exhibitions in the United States of noted international artists such as Korean sculptor, JaeHyo Lee; and, has introduced international talent such as Beijing-based painter Lianghong Feng. South African painter and sculptor, Lionel Smit, and Chinese painter, Shen Chen, through gallery exhibitions and international art fairs. Gallery artists are represented in the exhibition programs and permanent collections of museums in the United States and Asia. The gallery’s exhibitions are regularly reviewed or featured in published articles in Sculpture Magazine, Art in America, ArtNews, among other contemporary art publications.

Cynthia Reeves is the founding Director of the Great River Arts Institute, an educational arts organization based in Vermont. The mission has been to sustain a New England-based arts center to support and nurture visual and literary artists and provide regional art and literacy youth programs. These programs have created a forum for artistic exchange and learning among instructors and students, bringing the benefits of this dynamic exchange back to community.

CYNTHIA-REEVES was founded in 1995 in New England and opened our New York gallery in 2003 in Chelsea, the contemporary art district of Manhattan.
