The Jane Kahan Gallery is an art gallery located in New York City that deals almost exclusively with modern art in a variety of media including: works on paper, sculpture, and paintings. The gallery is best known for its extensive collection of tapestries by artists such as Romare Bearden, Alexander Calder, Marc Chagall, Sonia Delaunay, Max Ernst, Le Corbusier, and René Magritte, along with ceramics by Pablo Picasso. Established by art dealer Jane Kahan in 1973, the gallery was one of the first distributers of "Modern Master" works within the United States. The gallery maintains its original space on the Upper East Side and an exhibition space in Lower Manhattan. In addition to works by 19th and 20th century artists, the gallery has been known to represent select contemporary artists including Hungarian-born French hyperrealist painter Istvan Sandorfi. The gallery is a member of the Fine Art Dealers Association (FADA), CINOA, and a founding member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association[1]. TapestriesRepresenting the Western tradition of tapestry production, the gallery deals with works by prominent French weavers such as Yvette Cauquil-Prince[2], Marie Cuttoli, Jacqueline de la Baume Dürrbach, and Jean Lurçat.[3] These master cartoonists created their plans after designs by, and in close collaboration with, many 20th century artists such as Joan Miró, Fernand Léger, and Victor Vasarely. These works were often woven in the prominent French workshops of Aubusson and Gobelins origin, which achieved great fame for their highly skilled creations from the 17th century well into the 20th century. Many of these workshops produced a number of modern tapestries before closing in the late half of the 20th century, following WWII. Houses like Pinton remain in practice of centuries of manufacturing knowledge, which continue to collaborate with artists like Peter Sis in their series Art for Amnesty-Sis-Atelier Pinton.[4] Collectors from the United States interested in modern master tapestries were known to engage with prominent designers such as, Gloria Ross, who established the Gloria F. Ross Center in 1997, later becoming the Gloria F. Ross Tapestry Program at the University of Arizona.[5] This marks an important continuation of the European tapestry tradition globally. An other example of this can be found in Pablo Picasso's tapestry reproduction of Guernica, commissioned by Nelson Rockefeller in 1955, which hung in the Headquarters of the United Nations for many years. The tapestry was lent to the San Antonio Museum of Art in the U.S. state of Texas in 2012, but has since returned to the John D. Rockefeller Estate .[6] References{{refbegin}}
