Helicline Fine Art announced today its first exhibition, AMERICAN SCENE, PLUS, which can be viewed at HeliclineFineArt.com. The Gallery offers 20th century American and European paintings, sculpture and works on paper for sale at a wide price range. Helicline also functions as a consultancy that advises collectors and professionals on various aspects of today’s complex art market.

Helicline specializes in modernism, American scene, social realism, mural studies, industrial landscapes, regionalism, abstraction and more.

In post-Depression America, before modernism took hold, the realistic movement of artists painting images of everyday life was dubbed: American Scene. Many of the works were created by artists on the WPA (Works Progress Administration, 1935-1943), the Federal program created by President Roosevelt to pay artists.

The inaugural Helicline exhibition features dozens of works by Ludwig Bemelmans, Emil Bisttram, Al Hirschfeld, Max Kalish, Fletcher Martin, Paul Meltsner, Irene Rice Pereira, Joseph Solman, a 1,000 piece museum quality collection of art and objects connected with New York’s 1939 World’s Fair, and more.

The gallery is located in a private space in New York and is open by appointment. The art on the site represents a mere fraction of available works.

Helicline Fine Art was established in 2008 by passionate collectors Keith Sherman, who runs a thriving public relations company (ksa-pr.com), and physician Roy Goldberg.

“Being collectors for 30 years, we’ve become sponges for knowledge, scholarship and context, training our eye and unearthing estates. It’s a natural transition for us to become private dealers,” said Goldberg.

“We relish those personal connections with collectors and professionals that come from sharing our experience and enthusiasm. Art makes us feel alive and we are delighted to present our first exhibition of paintings, works on paper and sculpture that we love.” Sherman added.

At New York’s 1939 World’s Fair the omnipresent image was the iconic Trylon and Perisphere. These were in fact monumental sculptures and entertainment venues the size of huge buildings. The Helicline was the curved ramp that connected the two structures. The mission of Helicline Fine Art is to connect people with art.
