Gallery Century

Gallery Century Gallery Century (formerly Gallery Sam) offers the highest quality in modern, international, and abstract art by the best contemporary and modernist artists.

Please visit: www.GalleryCentury.com Gallery Sam is the creation of founder and primary dealer Evan Morganstein, a passionate collector who turned his passion into a vehicle to share his love of art. Named after Evans first son Sam, the Gallery's collection has now grown to over hundreds of works from the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Gallery Sam focuses primarily on luminous and exciting exampl

es of abstract art. The works range from American and European Modernist schools (Post-War Ab Ex, Color Field, Op, and many other), to international movements (Indian Neo-Tantric, African stone sculpture, and Aboriginal Australian paintings), to the latest in Contemporary artists working today. Our extensive selection of in-stock paintings and market contacts allows us to fit most everyone's taste and budget. Our buying philosophy balances top quality, condition, aesthetics, and affordability. Although most of the paintings we deal in are by well-known artists, we also seek out artists who are overlooked, undervalued, and haven't achieved the celebrity status of some of their contemporaries, but who nevertheless painted superior works.
