After 16 years as Director at the Marian Goodman Gallery Jeannie Freilich has launched Jeannie Freilich Fine Art to promote emerging to mid-career artists as well as trade secondary market artworks. The nine international artists that comprise the gallery stable are all deeply engaged with their particular practice of art making and they include Ed Cohen (American), Yvonne Estrada (Colombian), Guy Goodwin (American), Andreas Kocks (German), Michael Maytal (Israeli), Annie Morris (British), Fernando Renes (Spanish), Rebecca Smith (American) and Jess von der Ahe (American). These extremely gifted artists often demonstrate a prediliction for obsessive materiality and always demonstrate a visual moral integrity that points to a rigorous conceptual and technical background. Projects with painter Elizabeth Insogna and media artist Jason Kraus are also planned for the near future. The gallery opened in September 2006 with a show titled /100 artists – 100 watercolors /which included historical watercolors by the likes of Paul Cezanne and Eugene Delacroix alongside Indian miniatures as well as contemporary works by such masters as Gerhard Richter, Thomas Schutte, Eric Fischl and many others including the 9 gallery artists.
