Something Old, Something New
Greg Kucera Gallery 40th Anniversary Show

October 5 - 28, 2023

After 40 thrilling years of doing business in Seattle’s Pioneer Square, we at the Greg Kucera Gallery are celebrating by staying in business. We are not closing. Or even slowing down. We are not transitioning to an online only or social media gallery. We are not becoming private dealers. We are not becoming an “art fair only” gallery.


Instead, we are embracing our past, our present, and our future by continuing to represent and exhibit some of the finest of contemporary artists. The pleasure found in our business is in encouraging the passionate obsessions of our collectors in response to the intelligence and creativity of our artists. We are staying the course of our original mission.


For this exhibition, we have invited our represented artists to exhibit pairs of works; one early, and one recent. These curated juxtapositions will reveal aspects of their creative histories — showing where they have been in contrast to where they are now — both within their career and through their partnership with the gallery.
