Gerald Peters Contemporary

Opening his first gallery location in Santa Fe during the early 1970s, Gerald Peters has always embraced an unconventional approach.  Presenting a diverse range of stylistic and aesthetic movements as well as historic periods, the Santa Fe gallery showed established artists and artworks alongside many lesser known, more esoteric works.  In 1976, Peters became Georgia O’Keeffe’s exclusive dealer, representing the artist until her death in 1986; a relationship that cemented both the gallery’s position in Santa Fe’s art ecosystem and as a leading dealer of Modernist works.  The Gallery’s presence expanded to New York City in the 1990s.

In 2014, Peters established a formal Contemporary program in both Santa Fe and New York which embodies an eclecticist ethos that shapes the curatorial perspective. The Contemporary gallery focuses on emerging textile artists like Elizabeth Hohimer, native artists like Patrick Dean Hubbell, who incorporate myriad aesthetic approaches, and enigmatic artists like Maurice Burns, whose work examines the intersections between the Black American experience and American Western narratives.
