in a #business where #risk lies in propagating genius to an educated esoteric world of redundancy in the hope to discover and #share #art that influences #arthistory by enhancing our lives and expanding the horizons of #culture past and present we think we discovered that potential prodigy producing with essential self doubt #artistic process in #PeterWeiss #thinktank #studio love to know you’re thoughts - and we are just running our brushes over the #surface in this complex #trompeloeil tundra he’s been developing in basements all over #newyork over the last 40+ years

my #modeling #acting career continues to thrive cast w a real reluctant challenge to play the submissive subservient role opposite the brilliant #actress @jellymorrison graced by genius #director #artist #photographer @sarahbahbah
Jelly’s performance was so riveting that many times I’d forget my lines caught mesmerized in a trance feeling more like part of the wall paper or audience than the scene #womenempowerment

#mirrormirror / #anyone who knows the native #newyorker will unanimously agree @firstshot Peter Weiss has been a selfless leader and #cultural connector of a variety of eclectic #artists + #friends from all walks of life for at least the last 30+ years - his vast vessel of #experience #knowledge has challenged us to be better - and his enormous #talent for execution and a scientific approach to problem solving will never overshadow his humility and willingness to turn the attention away from himself and shine it on his #artist friends. @abnygallery would like to #share his #brilliance with the #world whether #art or #science this incredible inquisitive #davinci like #ballpointpen #selfportrait #drawing is a practice in diligence, exceeding its own aspirations as it peers a piercing question at every banal example of #contemporaryart #market #mediocrity —-it’s #genius - but knowing Peter he’ll never welcome the compliments comfortably

We love #EricFreemans @etf70 #artwork so much can’t decide which #painting is more stunning than the next. He is one of the most brilliant humble #artists of our day with a poetic subtlety to his work that leaves one lost for words yet bursting with emotion. Our #contemporary #Rothko ? He has taken #abstraction to another level. Would love the #opportunity to share with you his wonderful versatility and #talent #abgalleryny

In 1994 AB Gallery was the brainchild of artist William Quigley and collector Pamela Armstrong. Originally named Mayb Gallery, and located in a mini mall storefront on Robertson Blvd in Los Angeles. After the first group show Dan Bernier became the new director and changed the name to AB (Armstrong/Bernier). After 10 successful shows AB in 1995 was offered to move rent free into a collectors property in Hollywood on Sunset/Highland Avenue for a year. The gallery was given 6 storefronts, called AB Gallery/ Mini Mall Six, on the second floor of one of the busiest corners in LA. Bernier parted amicably to open his own space on Wilshire Blvd.
Openings were epic packed with friends and guests drinking canned beers and boxed wine. On any given day Ed Ruscha, Joe Goode, Charles Ray, John Baldessari, Robert and Susan Williams, Barry Sloane, Merry Karnowsky, Christopher Knight, Peter Frank, Paul McCarthy, Ed Moses, David Fincher, Debbie Harry, Nick Cage, Gina Gershon, Jay Chiat, Doug Christmas, Manny Silverman, Billy Idol, Matt Gleason, Allen Ruppersberg, Stephen Prina, Robert and Andrew Haag, Chris Lloyd, Paul Schimmel, Arlene Sorkin, Margo Leavin, Jim Carey, Robert Berman, Wesley Snipes, Marilyn Manson, Dr. Ken and Karl Tokita, Mike Kelley, Chris Burden, Nancy Rubins, Kim Light, Keanu Reeves, Gregory Brown, Matt Groening, Sly Stallone or David Zwirner would just pop in to see a show or attend an opening.
Like many LA galleries in the 1990s, AB became an early launching pad for several now recognized artists such as: Manuel Ocampo, Martin Kersels, Patty Wickman, Steve Hurd, Russell Crotty, Marc Chiat, John Sonsini, Paul Bridenbaugh, William Quigley, Kevin Sullivan, Bill Livingston, Gina Lamb, Toba and Rachel Khedoori, John Ivanchenko, Jason Rhoades, George Stoll, Tamara Fites, Julian Bismuth, and Mike Bouchet.
AB started as an artist run space intended on showing good work. After only a few years, it’s success eventually attracted the more prominent, established dealers. Many of the gallery’s original artists went on to work with galleries like David Zwirner, Rosamund Felsen, Hauser & Wirth, Jose Freire, Lehmann Maupin, Bess Cutler, Jack Tilton, Baldwin, Regen Projects, Mitchell Innes, Nash and Larry Gagosian.
After 25 years, AB NY Gallery relaunched in East Hampton, NY with new director Sarah Scribner applying a fresh aesthetic and eclectic contemporary vision for its future. AB NY will focus on placing its artists in good collections. And collaborating with new and established artists, partnering with galleries, curators, private and public art collections, foundations, art fairs and pop-up events with exciting brands and charitable causes.
“I moved to NY in 1999, and East Hampton in 2013. Who knows what influence AB had on LA? We relaunched in 2019 for a lot of the same reasons AB opened in 1994. It was a lot of fun, an incredible time with a lot of intelligent minds coming together in the same gallery. I’m excited to make new work and have Sarah Scribner representing our art and directing the gallery. Really can’t think of a more significant place in the art world at the moment, with so many beautiful walls than the Hamptons. A magical place with a long history of art in a community supported by so many passionate new, hungry and well educated collectors concentrated in one locale.” ---William Quigley, founder
