Announcing Bromer Gallery!

Poster for

To mark our 50th year as a leading specialist in rare and beautiful books, we are pleased to announce the launch of Bromer Gallery, which will open its first exhibition on November 1, 2018. Bromer Gallery will operate in conjunction with Bromer Booksellers, and will feature original art, edition prints, and related material, executed by artists whose work is centered upon the idea of the book as art. This new endeavor is a natural extension of our long history as specialists in the art of the book. 

The inaugural exhibition of Bromer Gallery opens this Thursday, November 1st, with a cocktail reception from 5:30 to 7:00 pm. "Goldman and Lee: Shadow and Color" showcases Jane Goldman's Audubon Suite, which incorporates plates from John James Audubon's Birds of America into vibrant still-lifes, and the woodcut prints and books of Jim Lee, who draws inspiration from the lush landscapes of Ireland, the Connecticut River Valley, and Maritime Canada. 

Learn more about the gallery and Jane Goldman and Jim Lee's beautiful art on the newly launched Bromer Gallery website, gallery.bromer.com.
