About Us

Dear Friends and Collectors:  We humbly admit that we might be debutant swimmers in the ocean of art and its multi-surfaced emotional and aesthetic offerings.  We took the courage to share the fruits of our observations and experience serving art needs of national and international elite, beginners and mature art Collectors.

We might not be perfect in everything, and we are not here to claim discoveries. This is an attempt to share the wealth of experience and the joy that we gather with your irreplaceable loyalty and trust.

It was an honor for the team of Collectors and Le Vernissage Galleries to be at your service all these precious years, and we thank you for that.
