For the past 17 years, Levis Fine Art has specialized in the identification and reintroduction of overlooked abstract expressionists of the post war period. By working with estates and private collectors we are in a position to offer the finest examples of painting and sculpture by Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Beauford Delaney and Ibram Lassaw alongside many of their more recognized peers.
We continue to be a catalyst in the re-discovery, publication, museum exhibition and museum and private acquisition of artwork. Recent museum exhibitions and publications that include artwork presented by Levis Fine Art include:
Ninth Street Women: Lee Krasner, Elaine de Kooning, Grace Hartigan, Joan Mitchell, and Helen Frankenthaler: Five Painters and the Movement That Changed Modern Art, book by Mary Gabriel, Little Brown and Company, September, 2018
