About Kraushaar Galleries, Inc.

Kraushaar Galleries was founded in 1885 by Charles W. Kraushaar who had been with the Schaus Gallery, a respected European art gallery of the early 1880s. In business for himself at the Gallery’s first location on Broadway at 33rd street, Charles took summer trips to Europe to bring back Dutch and French Barbizon paintings, as well as works by Courbet, Corot, Whistler and Fantin-Latour. Soon after its opening, Charles’ younger brother John joined the business and added modern French painters: Soutine, Matisse, Roualt, Modigliani, Redon, an occasional Picasso and others of the late 19th and early 20th century.

Kraushaar Galleries at 122, currently at 74 East 79th Street, is now functioning as a private gallery. We continue to represent the work of Catherine Drabkin and Lee Walton while focusing and maintaining our expertise in the art of the first half through the middle of the twentieth century. The president is Carole M. Pesner, and the director is Katherine Degn.
