Peg Alston Fine Arts

Peg Alston Fine Arts Peg Alston Fine Arts, est. 1971, specializes in the work of African-American artists and other artists of African descent.

In the nearly four decades since establishing Peg Alston Fine Arts, Peg Alston has emerged as this country’s foremost private dealer specializing in works by African American artists and other artists of African descent, as well as select pieces of traditional African sculpture. In addition to handling art created by gifted emerging and mid-career artists, Peg Alston has managed transactions for the works of some of the most renowned 20th. Century Black masters, including Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Laura Wheeler Waring, William T. Williams, Horace Pippen, Charles White, and Elizabeth Catlett. She has also sold works by some of the leading names on the contemporary scene, among them: Sam Gilliam, Richard Yarde, Betye Saar, Howardena Pindell, Frank Bowling, Ronald Burns, Edward Clark, David Driskell, Al Loving, Lubaina Himid, Oliver Johnson, Faith Ringgold, Nanette Carter and Raymond Saunders. Peg Alston emerged on the New York art scene in 1972, a time when interest in African American Art was limited. Early giants such as Romare Bearden and Norman Lewis generously served as informal mentors during the beginning stages of her career. Thanks to her keen eye and tastes, commitment to her specialty, and dedication to educating the public through lectures and activism, she has played a pivotal role in cultivating an interest all around the country for investing in African American fine art, and formed close associations with many of today’s most important African American artists. Long active with the Studio Museum in Harlem and many other major New York City cultural institutions, Peg Alston organized some of the first seminars on collecting, appraising and cataloguing African American art. Today, Peg Alston is a member of the Private Dealer’s Association (PADA) and ArtTable, and recently had the honor of being interviewed by History Makers for their visual and oral archival collection. Please contact us to be notified of shows or make inquiries. Visits to the gallery are by appointment only.

Thanks for an extraordinary evening with art lovers at Le Bernardin Privé hosted by CollectorX, Hassan Smith and Dale Burnett. It was lovely to see Cheryl Finley who recently received the Driskell award at the High Museum of Art.
