Acquavella Galleries: Art Through the Ages

Acquavella Galleries is renowned for its expertise in the realms of 19th, 20th, and 21st-century art. The gallery initially focused on works from the Italian Renaissance and old master paintings. Later, Bill Acquavella expanded the scope to encompass the masters of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Cubism, and Surrealism. In the late 1980s, the gallery began dealing in postwar and contemporary art.

Today, the gallery consistently presents exhibitions featuring the works of esteemed artists, including Paul Cézanne, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Amedeo Modigliani, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, Paul Klee, Alberto Giacometti, Willem de Kooning, Franz Kline, Mark Rothko, and many more.
