A Few of Our Favorite Things: Selections from Childs Gallery

This holiday season we’ve asked our staff to share their&nbsp;favorite&nbsp;works of art at Childs Gallery. The resulting exhibition,&nbsp;A Few of Our&nbsp;Favorite&nbsp;Things, highlights an eclectic selection of&nbsp;beloved items and forgotten treasures&nbsp;from the gallery’s extensive inventory. Most of the staff are art collectors themselves, representing a wide range of personal tastes, expertise, and collecting interests. We are thrilled to share a few of our&nbsp;favorite&nbsp;things and hope that you might find a shared vision or&nbsp;favorite&nbsp;of your own to add to your collection.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Childs Gallery’s&nbsp;storied&nbsp;inventory has been growing and evolving since the gallery was first established in 1937. We focus on fine American and European artwork, including paintings, drawings, watercolors, prints, and sculpture, from the Renaissance through Contemporary. Only a small fraction of this inventory is ever on view at one time in the gallery’s exhibition spaces. As we move from one thematic or solo exhibition to the next, the full range of our offerings is often not immediately apparent to our clients.&nbsp;A Few of Our&nbsp;Favorite&nbsp;Things&nbsp;provides us with the perfect opportunity to open up our storerooms and display the exciting breadth of our&nbsp;artwork. Our&nbsp;comprehensive&nbsp;holdings are particularly appealing to today's eclectic taste, as it's the collector's eye, not the historic period or medium, which makes for a cohesive and personalized collection. Our inventory features superb paintings and sculpture from the past 200 years with an emphasis on mid-20th century American Modernism, Abstract Expressionism, Boston Expressionism, Social and Magic Realism, women artists of the last century, queer artists, and other important genres and movements. While Childs is historically known for a&nbsp;broad&nbsp;collection of Marine Art and New England Impressionism, our current holdings also reflect the changing tastes of our clients, as well as new scholarship on artists and art historical periods. We seek to bridge the art of today with the great artists of previous centuries.&nbsp;
