GREG KUCERA GALLERY

Special thanks to Greg Kucera Gallery for the loan of works by Loretta Bennett for this exhibition.

“Opening in 1983, the Greg Kucera Gallery began with a modest group show of artists which included established NW artists such as Alden Mason, Gene Gentry McMahon, Karin Helmich and John F. Koenig. A number of younger artists were quickly added including Mark Calderon, Michael Ehle, Jody Isaacson, Ross Palmer Beecher, and Ed Wicklander. For the first decade the gallery exhibitions rotated between emerging regional artists shown alongside emerging artists from New York or elsewhere such as Kiki Smith, Darren Waterston or Cheryl Laemmle. The gallery also created a series of exhibitions devoted to internationally known artists like Susan Rothenberg, Roy Lichtenstein, Mimmo Paladino and David Hockney with the intention of creating a context for printmaking alongside other forms of expression, such as drawing and painting.

In the intervening years, Greg Kucera Gallery has added mid-career artists such as Alice Wheeler, Cris Bruch, Jeff Simmons, Mark Newport, Tim Roda, Jack Daws, Margie Livingston, Chris Engman, Victoria Haven, Marie Watt, Dan Webb, and Darren Waterston. As well as taken on representation of senior artists such as Sherry Markovitz, Gregory Blackstock, Michael Knutson, Norman Lundin, Peter Millett, Susan Skilling, Whiting Tennis, and Claudia Fitch. And emerging talent such as Juventino Aranda, Joe Rudko, SuttonBeresCuller, Katy Stone, and Anthony White. We also showed highly respected, nationally known artists such as Deborah Butterfield, John Buck, Jane Hammond, John Waters, William Kentridge and Tim Bavington.

The gallery is located at 212 Third Avenue South on the east edge of the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle.”
