Pinkus Fine Art, originally Gerson Neustadt Antiquitaeten, was founded in Breslau, Germany, in 1899, by the Great Gra
ndfather of the current owner, Evelyne Pinkus. The business originally specialized in 18th century furniture and decorative arts, much of which was acquired from the Silesian aristocracy. Ernst Pinkus the grandson of the original owner, was considered one of the foremost experts on 18th Porcelain and Faience, both in United States and Europe. Prestigious institutions such as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Victorian Albert Museum and the Bayrischer National Museum sought his expertise. Upon his untimely death in 1969, his wife, Steffi Pinkus continued as president of the corporation, advising museums, important collectors such as Greta Garbo, Jackie Kennedy, Helen Hayes and Walter Pidgeon as well as major auction houses such as Sotheby’s and Christies. In 1982, Steffi and Ernst’s daughter Evelyne Pinkus took over the business in New York and in 1985 moved the business to Israel, where she continued to deal with clients worldwide and in 2002 established a second office in Germany. In 2009 family considerations brought her to New Jersey.
