Charting its own course since 2010, Eric Firestone Gallery reexamines significant yet under-recognized artists from the 20th and 21st centuries. Defined by its scholarly approach, the gallery takes a fresh look at postwar work with a contemporary eye—reintroducing artists to institutions and the discourse. In close collaboration with museums, academics, and collectors, Eric Firestone Gallery supports rigorous art historical and archival research exploring the entirety of an artist’s creative vision and life. 

Eric Firestone Gallery established its first location in 2010 at 4 Newtown Lane in East Hampton. In 2015, the gallery expanded with an additional space, The Loft, in a historic artist live/work building at 4 Great Jones Street in New York City. In 2020, the gallery opened its third location on that same street at 40 Great Jones Street.

New York, NY, 1944) is a painter who has been working in her SoHo loft since the early 1970s and is known for her highly impastoed gridded paintings. Over the past five decades, Fortgang has developed a singular artistic process and a deep oeuvre; however, this is notably the artist’s first solo exhibition.
