Many of the world's major museums and private collections have acquired works of art through these exhibitions and catalogs. Shepherd Gallery has exhibited in fields of 19th-century art that were generally thought unfashionable at the time of exhibition, therefore putting our clients on the ground floor of the art market. We strive to continue to make discoveries and broaden our collector's horizons. As we enter the new century, many artistic developments of the past two centuries throughout the western world remain uncharted.

Between the years 1998 and 2012 Shepherd Gallery, New York, and Patrick Derom Gallery, Brussels, Shepherd Gallery presented 19th century European paintings, drawings and sculpture, and Patrick Derom pursued his expertise in 20th century art, especially in Symbolism, Surrealism and International Modern Masters.

In joint exhibitions we presented an expanded range of European art, hoping to enhance at the same time the perception of art works of the present and last centuries. In January of 2013, Shepherd Gallery formed a new affiliation with the Viennese Gallery, Wienerroither Kohlbacher.

It is well known for dealing in works on paper and unites the great Austrian artists around 1900 such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Alfred Kubin, Koloman Moser and Max Oppenheimer. Furthermore, the gallery offers artworks by international artists such as Lyonel Feininger, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Zoran Music and Emil Nolde and by other Austrian artists, e.g. Alfred Wickenburg and Erika Giovanna Klien.

Wienerroither & Kohlbacher participates in some of the most important international art fairs and salons (such as TEFAF Maastricht, Frieze Masters London …).
