THE GALLERY
The Tobey C. Moss Gallery opened in 1978 with a modest showing of prints by John Sloan and Armin Hansen - from one coast of the United States to the other. As a member of the IFPDA/International Fine Print Dealers Association, our print inventory is extensive but we also offer drawings, watercolors, collages, paintings and sculptures. We favor American artists, particularly those active in California since the 1930s....through today. Abstraction is a special direction in the Gallery, in parallel with social criticism, kineticism, works by women artists and works by Mexican/Latin and African American artists. In addition, we offer occasional fine works by European, Asian and Early Master artists.
Many estates and media have been represented in the Gallery with current focus upon those of Jules Engel, Leonard Edmondson, Werner Drewes, Stanton Macdonald Wright, Clinton Adams, Nicholas P. (Nick) Brigante, Peter Krasnow and Gordon Wagner.
We also present works by Ruth Asawa, Mario Avati, Dorr Bothwell, Elizabeth Catlett, Lee Chesney, William Dole, Lorser Feitelson, Oskar Fischinger, Ynez Johnston, John Paul Jones, Matusumi (Mike) Kanemitsu, Basil Langton, Helen Lundeberg, George Herms, Seymour Haden, Leopoldo Mendez, Carlos Merida, Lee Mullican, Pablo O’Higgins, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Posada, Jay Rivkin, Betye Saar, Palmer Schoppe, Peter Shire, Joyce Treiman, Howard Warshaw, June Wayne, Emerson Woelffer, Tyrus Wong and many others.
FRANK ROMERO, CARLOS ALMARAZ and TGP
We present challenging and vibrant works by Frank Romero, Carlos Almaraz and Luis Jimenez with printmakers of Mexico's Taller de Grafica Popular and the Americas plus watercolors and paintings by Carlos Merida and Roberto Montenegro. Ranging in dates between 1930s and 2010, we follow threads that weave folk, political, mythic and personal narratives.
