The North Point Gallery
The North Point art gallery in San Francisco exhibits nineteenth-century and early twentieth-century American and European paintings. The main focus is showing art from early California but there are some traditional contemporary paintings available. You will find work from Edwin Deakin, Thomas Hill, William Keith and Carol Peak. The gallery has work from over 60 artists.
This San Francisco art gallery has been running for over 35 years, moving from time to time, and is not based in an 1860s building in what was once the “Barbary Coast” of the Gold Rush era. A fine setting to enjoy the art that is on offer. If you are a collector in the field of American art, this gallery should be on your list to visit but as always, it is good to check their website for further details.
