The Walter Wickiser Gallery, located in the prestigious Fine Art Building in Chelsea – located at 210 Eleventh Avenue, Suite 303, New York, NY 10001 – was established in 1992. As the son of artist and art educator Ralph Wickiser – who was former the Chairman of the graduate art program at Pratt University from 1962-1978 – Walter Wickiser was born and raised in the American art world amongst internationally renowned modern artists including Franz Kline, Jacob Lawrence, George McNeil, Stephen Pace and Phillip Pearlstein. Friendship, at a very early age, with the Milton Avery and Yasuo Kuniyoshi families provided a special mentoring and education which proved very beneficial to his career as an art dealer.
