Jim Kempner Fine Art On the second level, in the same building as J. Cacciola, Jim Kempner Fine Art resides. While the former gallery focuses on oil paintings, Kempner, according to a statement on the company's home page "specializes in contemporary prints and works on paper with an emphasis on American Masters." Recent exhibitions at the gallery have included works by Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Motherwell, and Howard Hodgkin. The inventory includes newly established artists such as Ross Bleckner, Christo, Richard Diebenkorn, Sam Francis, Helen Frankenthaler, Jasper Johns, Donald Judd, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol Lewitt, James Rosenquist, Kiki Smith, Pat Steir, Wayne Thiebaud, Kara Walker, and Terry Winters, but also legendary names like Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. Print prices range from $700 (Tony Fitzpatrick) to $48,000 (Lichtenstein). Moreover, Kempner sells the porcelain sculptures "Balloon Dog" (1995) and "Puppy" (1998) by well-known kitsch artist Jeff Koons for $500 and $1400, respectively. Significant for the sculptor is his blend of simple topics and high-quality material. (More...)
