Skot Foreman Fine Art was founded in the mid-1990s, and is a gallery specializing in Contemporary Art of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Prior to opening the New York space in January 2004, the gallery was located in the hip downtown gallery district in Atlanta known as Castleberry Hill. From 1994 through 2001, the gallery operated in various locations within the greater Miami area.
Skot Foreman Fine Art has recently opened a project space in San Miguel de Allende in central Mexico catering to an expat market as well as an ever growing collector base in Mexico. The gallery still works privately by appointment in NYC and continues to showcase works at various international art fairs throughout the year.
Exhibitions are arranged at the museum level. A recent effort took place at the Boca Raton Museum of Art in 2006. Purvis Young: Paintings from the Street broke attendance and catalogue sales' records for the museum. The gallery has maintained an important collection of Young’s work, ranging from the early 1970s to 1999, for close to two decades. In late 2008, Skot Foreman Fine Art will unveil a 300+ page coffee table book entitled Purvis Young: Social Expressionism.
Scholarly catalogues and writings are published in support of each exhibition. Moreover, Skot Foreman maintains an extensive collection of prints, which the gallery published for famous artists such as Howard Finster.
The gallery features a wide selection of Modern masters—Picasso, Johns, Matisse, Wesselmann, Warhol, and Lichtenstein all figure prominently. The works of James Rosenquist have grown to become an additional area of focus over the last year and the gallery believes these works, as currently valued, represent a rare opportunity for their clients and collectors worldwide. Miro, Dali, (vintage) Max, and Haring, among others, are additional areas of interest.
A premier focus is placed on the works of M.C. Escher by the gallery, and in 2005, Skot Foreman Fine Art presented one of the largest collections of the artist’s work ever shown in the United States in a 10-week exhibition. In 2008, the Flint Institute of Art in Michigan presented a retrospective on Escher's work entitled Rhythm of Illusion. Skot Foreman lent close to 20 rare works to enrich the show.
The gallery continues to assist a number of foundations and museums in its efforts to identify works of interest for acquisition and academic research.
Skot Foreman Fine Art is a member of International Society of Appraisers.
