ABOUT

C. Grimaldis Gallery remains active from its office at The Mill Centre, continuing its nearly five-decade commitment to postwar and contemporary art through selected works, private appointments, art fairs, and collaborations with artists, estates, collectors, curators, advisors, designers, and institutions.

C. Grimaldis Gallery, the longest continually operating gallery in Baltimore, opened in 1977 with a focus on local and regional artists, encouraging a spirit of exploration and experimentation. Within just a few years, owner Constantine Grimaldis began to exhibit important international artists, beginning with Grace Hartigan, Elaine de Kooning, Alice Neel, Anne Truitt, and Sir Anthony Caro.

Continually developing its distinct curatorial viewpoint, the gallery maintained its commitment to emerging and mid-career artists while also developing relationships with many of the major names of the day, including John Baldessari, Willem de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, Richard Serra, Joel Shapiro, and John Waters.

Focusing on a selective roster, the gallery promoted younger artists such as Chul Hyun Ahn, Beverly McIver, Jae Ko, and John Ruppert, exhibiting their work alongside more established artists through the gallery program and at international art fairs in the United States and Europe.

Specializing in both modern and contemporary work in all media, the gallery has regularly produced scholarly catalogues for solo exhibitions and important group shows, and has demonstrated a long commitment to hosting lectures and discussions about art and artists.

The gallery represents the estates of Grace Hartigan and Eugene Leake, among others.
