Gallery Anthony Curtis
The Gallery Anthony Curtis in Boston represents over 30 artists ranging from emerging to mid-career and was one of the first galleries in the US to show aboriginal art from Australia. The Gallery Anthony Curtis exhibits art that fits outside of western culture, however a lot of the artists themselves are from the American continent. You will find work from the likes of Gloria Adams, Johanne Cullen and William Baterman.
The gallery strives to use the art to make strong aesthetic, cultural and social impacts to which is evident from the types of artists they represent. They run about 12 exhibits a year either showing the works of the individual artist or as a theme with various of the artists present. One of the ones we enjoyed was the group exhibition of American artists whose work is inspired by their journeys on the other side of the World. It was great to share the experience of the artist and the inspiration behind their art.
We would say this gallery is certainly for those who are interested in tribal art and indeed those who want to add something different to their home or office. The gallery is well laid out and the staff are a great source of knowledge as to the background of each piece.
