Owned by the Labrie family of Rye, New Hampshire, The Collector's Art Gallery is the largest private art collection north of New York City. The Gallery features three Collector's Showrooms, displaying European, American and Asian art through the Twentieth Century. The Contemporary Showroom features bimonthly exhibitions of Contemporary Works.
The Gallery's collection includes approximately two hundred museum quality bronzes by some of the best known sculptors of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries, including Moiniez, Carrier Belleuse, Mene, Roussel, Pandiani, Houdon, and Barye.
Additionally, the collection features over a thousand pieces of important artwork comprised of oil paintings, watercolors, etchings, lithographs, and marble sculpture. These works date from the Seventeenth through the Twentieth Century and include two oils which were made into postage stamps for their native homeland. Particularly noteworthy among these pieces are the extensive collections of Jewish Art, and Eastern European Art, including a unique collection of Hungarian Etchings.
The gallery's bimonthly Contemporary Exhibitions feature two and three-dimensional works by emerging and mid-career artists from New England and beyond. In hosting these rotating shows alongside our collector's inventory, we seek to establish a dynamic dialogue between Art History and Art in the Making, which we hope will be of benefit to our community.
