BFAPF VP Ann Shafer talks with fair exhibitor Richard Baiano, Childs Gallery
Established in 1937 on Newbury Street in Boston’s Back Bay, Childs Gallery holds an extensive inventory of oil paintings, drawings, watercolors, prints and sculpture. We actively service collectors, artists, estates, and corporate clients throughout the country in the buying and selling of fine art and have placed exceptional works in major museums nationwide.
Childs Gallery has a long history of scholarship, including more than 80 years of gallery publications represented in almost every fine arts library in the country. The combination of the breadth of our offerings and depth of expertise has contributed to the longevity of our success, with client service of equal importance.
Our extensive holdings are particularly appealing to the tastes of today’s art lovers, as it’s the collector’s eye, not the historic period or medium, that makes for a cohesive and personally satisfying collection. We focus on fine American and European artwork, dating from the Renaissance through Contemporary. To that end, clients can choose prints and drawings that range form Old Masters like Rembrandt, Goya and Piranesi, to Whistler and all the 20th century notables, along with superb paintings and sculpture from the past 200 years. Our contemporary artists work in traditional media, with ties to art historical movements and methodologies.
