Pierce Galleries' dedication to scholarship, expertise, and the unveiling of ground-breaking historical data dates back to 1972, when Patricia Jobe Pierce authored the first of many acclaimed art history books. The hit list includes: John Joseph Enneking, American Impressionist (1972); the first comprehensive text of the nearly forgotten revolutionary group The Ten (1976), with biographies on Benson, DeCamp, Dewing, Hassam, Metcalf, Tarbell, Reid, Simmons, Twachtman, Weir, and Chase; the earliest text on Edmund C. Tarbell and the Boston School of Painting (1980); and the candid, rave-reviewed Art Collecting and Investing, the Inner Workings and the Underbelly of the Art World (co-authored with her husband Marco Apollo, 2003); and more.
Incorporated in 1968, Pierce Galleries, Inc. combines market connoisseurship with scholarly expertise to build relevant and diverse 19th- and 20th-century American Art collections for individuals, corporations, and institutions. Pierce Galleries specializes in the Hudson River School, American Impressionism, Post-impressionism, Realism, Modernism, African, and Asian Art; and is currently compiling catalogue raisonnés on Edmund C. Tarbell, John Joseph Enneking, William S. Barrett, and Chauncey Ryder; and represents the Estates of Anne Carleton, J.W.S. Cox, Martin Kaelin, Laurence Kupferman, Marguerite Pearson, Chauncey Ryder, Caleb Arnold Slade, William Lester Stevens, and Louise Woodroofe.
