The Galerie St. Etienne, founded in 1939 by Otto Kallir (1894-1978), was for over 80 years the leading American showplace for Austrian and German Expressionism, as well as for American and European self-taught artists. It was the exclusive representative of Anna Mary Robertson (“Grandma”) Moses from the time of her first solo exhibition in 1940.

The gallery closed its exhibition space at the end of 2020 and transferred its library, archives and scholarly activites to the Kallir Research Institute, a non-profit foundation established in 2017. The gallery still represents the contemporary artist Sue Coe, and maintains a limited inventory of works by Leonard Baskin, Max Beckmann, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Erich Heckel, E.L. Kirchner, Gustav Klimt, Alfred Kubin, Oskar Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Emil Nolde, Egon Schiele and others. Available self-taught artists include Ilija Bosilj-Basicevic, Morris Hirshfield, John Kane, Grandma Moses and Josef Karl Rädler. Please contact us for further information.
