Newman galleries

DEFINITION

Founded in 1865 at 16th and Walnut Streets in the city center of Philadelphia by Adolph and George Newman, the gallery continues into the 21st century with fourth and fifth generation family members. It is one of the countries' oldest, ongoing art galleries. The estates of artists such as Daniel Garber, Edward Redfield, Kenneth Nunamker and John Folinsbee have been handled by the gallery, whose specialty is Pennsylvania artists, especially ones who attended the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.
