Meet the Manager

Whitney G.

Manager

I have been the director of William A. Karges Fine Art since 1988. William A. Karges Fine Art is considered by many to be the leading gallery in the nation that specifically specializes in paintings done by late 19^th & early 20^th century California artists. During this period, I have bought and sold literally thousands of paintings. I am considered one of the leading experts in this field, especially in regards to current market conditions, and have appraised paintings for both private collectors and major museums. I am frequently contacted by the leading auction houses for my opinion on current market conditions and authenticity.

I have served as the President and Vice-​President of the Historical Collections Committee of the Laguna Art Museum and as the Program Chairman and Treasurer of the American Art Council of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
