Gerald Peters Gallery
In 1972, Gerald Peters founded the Gerald Peters Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Gerald Peters has long been recognized as one of the world’s most respected dealers of American art of nineteenth and twentieth centuries with special interests that include classic Western art, paintings of the Taos Society of Artists and the Santa Fe Art Colony, American modernists, American and European Impressionists, the Ash Can School, the New York School, contemporary art, traditional and modern sculpture, naturalism, and vintage and contemporary photography. The Gerald Peters Gallery also represents the estates of Frank Applegate, Jozef Bakos, Cyrus Baldridge, Andrew Dasburg, Marjorie Eaton, Joseph Fleck, E. Martin Hennings, Albert Krehbiel, William Nash, Albert Schmidt, and Max Weber. Located in Santa Fe’s historic district, the gallery’s Spanish pueblo-style adobe building includes 8,500 square feet of indoor exhibition space, a gracious sculpture garden, a large research library, and a bookstore.
In 1992 Gerald Peters expanded the business to include a small gallery in New York. Operating from a townhouse on the Upper East Side, the gallery was initially envisioned to be a private showroom with a small staff, with a very limited exhibition schedule. In 1997, the Gerald Peters Gallery further expanded its presence in New York with the purchase of the townhouse at 24 East 78th Street. This five-story building incorporates two floors of exhibition space, several private viewing rooms, a library, storage facilities and offices. With a complete staff, the gallery currently is able to produce several exhibitions a year, publish catalogues and deal in a wide range of American art including the Hudson River School, American Impressionists and the American Modernists. In addition to the American paintings, drawings and sculpture, the gallery also specializes in modern European masters.

Jonathan Boos
Jonathan Boos specializes in American paintings, drawings, and sculpture created between 1850 and 1950, with a particular focus on works of the Ashcan School, American Scene painting, and the Stieglitz Group, including such varied artists as Stuart Davis, Ben Shahn, George Bellows, Milton Avery, Jacob Lawrence, Marsden Hartley, and Georgia O’Keeffe.
Boos brings singular experience to his work as a private art dealer and consultant. His father owned and operated the respected Frank H. Boos Gallery in Troy, Michigan, for 40 years. Jonathan started working in the family auction house at age eight and was employed there full time for six years after receiving his degree from Michigan State University.
In 1994 Boos began working as curator and adviser to Richard Manoogian and the Masco Corporation Collection in Taylor, Michigan — a role he continues today. Boos has helped build the Manoogian and Masco collections into one of the finest private ensembles of American art in the world, acquiring notable works by Frederic Church, Sanford Gifford, Winslow Homer, John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, Childe Hassam, and Edward Hopper, among others. He has helped organize exhibitions of the Manoogian and Masco collections presented at the Vero Beach Museum of Art; the Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art, Sapporo, Japan; and the Dixon Gallery and Gardens, Memphis, Tennessee, among many other institutions.
This background underlines the unique strengths of Jonathan Boos as a private art dealer: deep knowledge of the field and its participants and a reputation for discrete, transparent transactions. He started this service in 2008, with bases in New York and Bloomfield Village, Michigan, and has quickly attracted clients — private collectors and great museums — who are among the most discriminating and visionary in the world.
Philip Evergood

Saturday’s Children, 1954
Oil on board
47½ x 25 inches
Signed lower right
Evergood was born Philip Howard Blashki in New York to a painter father and a wealthy English mother. His family moved to London when he was eight so he could receive an English boarding school education. After changing his name and attending Eton, Evergood concentrated on drawing and sculpture at the Slade School of Art in London before returning to New York in 1923. In the 1930s Evergood became known as a Social Realist, and in 1933 his interest in social activism led him to the WPA’s Federal Arts Project.
Evergood’s paintings often featured skewed perspective, attention to detail, and a deliberate naiveté that stylistically supported his interest in the problems of struggling Americans, especially children. In Saturday’s Children Evergood fully realized the potential of his style: as the big brother keeps his sister close, their vacant stares are echoed by the strange doll and amplify their vulnerability. The idiosyncratic depiction of space enhances the sense of the children as two lost souls unsure of their place in the world.
The John H. Surovek Gallery

Menconi & Schoelkopf Fine Art
Founded in 2001, Menconi & Schoelkopf Fine Art offers a full range of American art, from the early nineteenth century through the mid twentieth. The two partners – Susan E. Menconi and Andrew L. Schoelkopf – bring to the business decades of experience in handling American paintings, drawings, watercolors, and sculpture.
Andy was raised in a family of art dealers, being the son of Robert and Jane Schoelkopf, who ran the prestigious Robert Schoelkopf Gallery in New York until the elder’s untimely death in 1990. Having worked at the gallery until its close in 1991, Andy then went on to Christie’s, where he rose to be head of the American Paintings Department. Andy currently sits on the board of the Private Art Dealers Association, of which the gallery is a member.
Susan began her art dealing career at Hirschl & Adler Galleries, New York, where she was founding director of the of American Sculpture Department. She later became Executive Vice President of the Richard York Gallery. Susan too was immersed in art from the beginning. Her late father, Ralph J. Menconi, was an accomplished professional sculptor, as was his father before him. For the past several years, Susan has served on the Art Advisory Panel of the Internal Revenue Service. She also serves on the American board of the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art, Hamilton, Bermuda.
Menconi & Schoelkopf offers the finest works available on the market today. We are uncompromising when it comes to quality and condition. Whether it is a small luminous Hudson River School picture or a fullblown flower painting by the major American modernist Georgia O’Keeffe, we study each work with a sharply critical eye before even thinking of offering it for sale. Often, this involves overseeing museum standard conservation and framing with a fine period frame.
Our primary activities are, of course, the acquisition and selling of art to collectors, museums, and corporations. Among the museums to which we have sold works of art are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. We have developed strong relationships with a number of individuals and institutions, where we act as the exclusive representatives, building or disposing of entire collections. We offer appraisal services and advice on conservation and framing.
