Robert Klein Gallery Renews Lease, Plans Renovations;

Summer Exhibitions To Take Place Exclusively at Ars Libri 

 

 
PAULETTE TAVORMINA, Watermelon Radishes, 2009

 


BOSTON, MA - Today, the ROBERT KLEIN GALLERY announced that it has renewed its lease at 38 Newbury Street, where the business has been located for twenty years. Renovations are planned for the fourth floor space and will begin in early June. Summer exhibitions will take place exclusively at ARS LIBRI (500 Harrison Ave), where the Robert Klein Gallery has mounted satellite shows since June 2012.

Committed to Boston's community of artists and collectors, the Robert Klein Gallery has grown and changed in step with the international art market by enhancing its web presence and participating in international art fairs. Conveniently situated near the Public Garden between Arlington and Berkeley Streets, the Robert Klein Gallery is within walking distance to major hotels (i.e., Taj Boston) and luxury retailers Giorgio Armani, Cartier, and Restoration Hardware's Gallery at the Historic Museum of Natural History. The gallery's new floor plan at 38 Newbury Street will allow for a more intimate viewing space, one designed to facilitate meetings and private showings.

The summer exhibition schedule opens with Showstoppers, a group show highlighting the photographers whose work made a splash at PARIS PHOTO 2012, THE ARMORY SHOW - MODERN 2013, and THE AIPAD PHOTOGRAPHY SHOW NEW YORK 2013. Included in the exhibition are PAULETTE TAVORMINA, CIG HARVEY, JESSICA BACKHAUS, BILL JACOBSON, and GREGORY VERSHBOW. Showstoppers will begin at Ars Libri on June 7, as part of SOWA's First Fridays, and run through June 29.

Japanese photographer and rare book dealer Hiroshi Masaki will be the subject of the Robert Klein Gallery and Ars Libri's July/August exhibition. More information to follow.

The ROBERT KLEIN GALLERY was established in 1980 and ranks among the world's most prestigious showrooms of fine art photography.

 

Robert Klein opened his Newbury Street space with early exhibitions of Diane Arbus, Annie Leibovitz, Sally Mann, and Hiroshi Sugimoto. From 1995 through 2008, Robert served as President of the Board of Directors of the Association of International Photography Dealers (AIPAD). During his tenure, Robert engineered the 2006 expansion of The AIPAD Photography Show New York to the Park Avenue Armory. The AIPAD Photography Show's move firmly established it as one of the leading photographic fairs in the world. Robert continues to serve on AIPAD's Board of Directors.

 

The Robert Klein Gallery maintains an extensive and ever-changing inventory of 19th century, 20th century, and contemporary photographs. Participating in international art fairs such as Paris Photo, The Armory Show - Modern, and The AIPAD Photography Show New York, the Robert Klein Gallery provides its contemporary artists with international exposure while exhibiting works by recognized masters such as Ansel Adams, Helen Levitt, and Irving Penn. With 40 combined years of experience and a profound knowledge base, the gallery staff is committed to serving as a resource for both novice and seasoned collectors.

 


ARS LIBRI, the internationally renowned rare bookdealer in the field of art, architecture, and photography, continues to show changing selections from its stock in its gallery at 500 Harrison Avenue.
