History

Established in 2006.

Long time gallery director and private art dealer Chris Quidley opened the gallery on Nantucket in 2006. Two years later, a second gallery was opened on Boston’s Newbury Street. Mr. Quidley, the son of a fine art painter father, and a frame-​making mother, has literally grown up in the business before working at Christie’s auction house and multiple galleries before opening his own.

The gallery was an instant success built upon strong relationships with clients and artists based on integrity, transparency, and discretion. The Nantucket gallery represents the finest traditional painting by contemporary artists.

The addition of a Boston location allows Quidley to better serve its clients year round, as well as host exceptional exhibitions in the spring and fall seasons. Over the years, the direction of the two galleries has become varied, the Nantucket gallery remains traditional, while a contemporary flair drives Boston’s curation, while remaining committed to the finest in realism.
