Gallery Statement:

Fred R. Kline Gallery, established in 1979 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, is focused primarily on American and European paintings, drawings and sculpture, 19th-20th centuries. European old masters, 16th-18th centuries, particularly paintings and drawings, are always selectively represented in our inventory, as is the art of Colonial Mexico and Latin America, 16th-19th centuries.

Within American art, we emphasize historically important artists of the western U.S. - New Mexico, Texas, California, etc. - 19th c. - 1950.

The gallery's approach is scholarly, rather than commercial, with an emphasis on connoisseurship, art historical importance, and aesthetic quality. We are generalist art historians and our interest and expertise is wide ranging; therefore, we remain open and delighted by works of high quality from diverse periods of art history.

Some museums, public institutions, and corporations which have acquired works of art from Fred R. Kline Gallery include: J. Paul Getty Museum, Pierpont Morgan Library, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Kansas City Art Institute, Eiteljorg Museum, Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, San Antonio Museum of Art, Snite Museum of Art, Notre Dame; Torch Energy, Houston; Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe; Roswell Museum, Gulf Canada, Santa Fe Art Institute, Houston Oil Producing Enterprises, Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and many important private collections.
