DOWN BY LAW – EXHIBITION

Since 1994, the Eric Firestone Gallery has mounted comprehensive exhibitions of fine art and design dating from the late nineteenth century to the present. Recent notable shows include: Enrique Montenegro: American Modernist (2008), Michael Cajero (2009) and Warhol: Dylan to Duchamp (2010). The main Tucson gallery, set within a historic Josias Joesler designed adobe, offers visitors a unique sense of the 1930s-era southwest, while providing an intimate environment for the display of art. The east coast space, located in the heart of the village of East Hampton, NY, reflects the energy and vibrant culture of nearby New York City. Both locations offer consultations on collections, estates, restoration, and framing, as well as art appraisals.
