THE FLOMENHAFT GALLERY HISTORY
The Flomenhaft Gallery was part of Eleanor and Leonard Flomenhaft’s plan for a new chapter in their lives. Eleanor is also an art historian, and curated many exhibits for The Emily Lowe Gallery, Hofstra University, the Fine Arts Museum of Long Island, the Montclair Art Museum and the Neuberger Purchase Art Museum. Her most recent traveling exhibit, Women Only, has gone to 8 museums. Exhibits she organized traveled throughout the United States, and overseas, to the Saint Petersburg State Museum and The State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, Russia, to the Netherlands and to several cities in Japan. She has juried many exhibits including the Central American Biennale. She has written extensively on contemporary art and wrote the first book in the English language on CoBrA art, the abstract expressionist art of post World War II Europe. Works by Karel Appel, Pierre Alechinsky, Romare Bearden, Beverly Buchanan, Eugene Brands, Jean Dubuffet, Henry Heerup, Carl Henning Pedersen, Faith Ringgold, Pat Steir and Carrie Mae Weems are just a few excellent works in the collection at the gallery.
The Gallery is in a refurbished building in Chelsea and consists of two spaces, the main gallery space exhibiting current shows, and the annex, for viewing works by artists not on exhibit.
