About Us
Founded in 1999, Contessa Gallery is a Fine Art Dealers Association Member (FADA) featuring a variety of artists, including blue-chip, established, and emerging artists, and art acquisition counsel to collectors, museums, and institutions. Contessa Gallery is built on three main principles: passion, integrity, and education. With a strong commitment to service and connoisseurship, Contessa Gallery has developed a notable local, national, and international following and a reputation for integrity and excellence.
While many galleries focus primarily on artist representation and promotion, Contessa Gallery is collector-oriented. Our mission is to assist clients in developing collections that have deep personal meaning. Contessa Gallery encourages its clients to view their collections as a legacy to be passed down through generations of family or to museums.
Contessa Gallery is dedicated not only to showcasing contemporary art but also to nurturing the careers of its artists. Our founders actively support the artists by mentoring them, placing works with collectors and museums, and providing opportunities to exhibit their works at prestigious art fairs and exhibitions. Through these efforts, we empower artists to grow their careers and reach new heights in the art world.
The gallery continues expanding its clientele and reputation through its exhibitions at its locations and participating in prestigious art fairs such as Art Basel-Art Miami, Palm Beach Modern + Contemporary, and Southampton Fine Art Fair. At the philanthropic level, Contessa Gallery seeks to make a difference in the community by contributing time, expertise, sponsorship, and educational programming for museums and arts organizations..
