Charles Egan Gallery

Charles Egan Gallery

The Charles Egan Gallery opened at 63 East 57th Street (Manhattan) in about 1945, when Charles Egan was in his mid-30's. Egan's artists helped him fix up the gallery: "Isamu Noguchi did the lighting... Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline painted the walls."[1]

A group show the next year included works by de Kooning, Joseph Stella, Josef Albers, Mark Rothko, Paul Klee and Georges Braque.

In 1948 Charles Egan Gallery held a solo exhibition of de Kooning's black and white paintings. Irving Sandler wrote that because of this exhibition, "de Kooning was established as a major Abstract Expressionist ... soon to be the most influential artist of his generation."[2]

In 1949 Joseph Cornell had his first show at the Charles Egan Gallery.[3]

In 1954 Knox Martin had his first one-man show at the Charles Egan Gallery.[4]

Among the other artists Mr. Egan showed were Louise Bourgeois, Robert De Niro, Sr., Elias Goldberg, Peter Golfinopoulos, Philip Guston, Raoul Hague, Julius Hatofsky, Franz Kline, Noguchi, Reuben Nakian, Robert Rauschenberg, Aaron Siskind,[5], Jack Tworkov and Esteban Vicente.[6]

The gallery moved to the Fuller Building at 41 East 57th Street in New York City during the 1950s and closed in 1972.
