Robischon
Gallery has been producing monthly exhibitions of regional, national
and international artists in Denver, Colorado since 1976. We embrace
the current pluralism in art and the artists we represent have a
wide range of stylistic and contextual concerns. Similarly, the
gallery represents artists who cover the range of notoriety from
the likes of Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Robert Motherwell, Richard
Serra and Judy Pfaff, to young emerging artists fresh to the professional
level. We seek out new talent who have vision and compelling ideas,
while acknowledging the historical precedence of their idiom.
In 1996,
we were selected by the Dedalus Foundation as one of 4 galleries
in the US to represent works from the estate of Robert Motherwell.
We can offer our clients access to all the prints from his catalogue
raisonne as well as unique drawings and rare prints. We have mounted
4 major exhibits of Motherwell prints and drawings and maintain
an excellent selection of his prints in our inventory.
The exhibits
focus on solo shows and
often contrast one to the next; one month the exhibit may include
work that is allegorical and figurative with elements of realism
and narrative, followed by a show of non-objective abstraction and
assemblage. Other topics that are key to recent dialogues which
are featured include conceptual art, appropriation, art & language,
earth art and fabricated photography, to name a few. Mediums that
are shown include photography, sculpture - fixed and kinetic, drawing,
prints, and painting.
The gallery
space itself is ample enough for two concurrent solo exhibitions.
This is facilitated through the use of large moveable walls, which
tailor the space to the size and shape of each artist's work. The
building is located in the historic warehouse district of Lower
Downtown Denver. We are one block from Union Station on the same
block as the famed "Red House" owned by the important collectors
and philanthropists Jan and Frederick R. Mayer. Other art venues
in our neighborhood include the Metropolitan State College Center
for the Visual Arts (from masters to students), Museum of Contemporary
Art - Denver (progressive contemporary), David Cook Fine Art (Native
American and early twentieth century art from 1900 - 1950), William
Matthews Gallery (watercolors of western and other subjects) and
Sloan Gallery (Russian art).
We have
free parking immediately adjacent to our building available until
6pm. Many excellent restaurants are in the immediate neighborhood.
Those which are frequented by art people are Vesta Dipping Grill,
McCormick's, Dixon's, Wazee Supper Club to name just a few of the
40+ restaurants in walking distance. We are 1-1/2 blocks from the
RTD bus terminal with buses going to Boulder and DIA. Also 1-1/2
blocks away is the over mile long 16th Street Mall, a pedestrian
mall with free shuttle bus service connecting the new Platte Valley
with Civic Center, the State Capital, The Denver Art Museum and
the Denver Public Library. Our neighborhood is immediately adjacent
to the Ballpark area surrounding Coors Field home of the Colorado
Rockies only 2-1/2 blocks away.
