Modern Art West specializes in museum quality California modern and select contemporary works of art. The principals of Modern Art West have been involved in the West Coast art market for more than twenty years. Our collection focuses on Bay Area abstract expressionism of the 1940s through the 1970s including the San Francisco and Hans Hofmann influenced Berkeley School movements as well as the works of the Bay Area Figurative movement. Despite critical acclaim by the major museum curators and historians of their era, these important movements are now just beginning to be more fully documented and consequently valued in the marketplace.

Modern Art West represents the work of the following artists among others: George Abend, William Theophilus Brown, John Haley, Karl Kasten, Erle Loran, James McCray, Emiko Nakano, Sonya Rapoport, Philip Roeber, John Saccaro, Peter Shoemaker, Hassel Smith, George Stillman, Sam Tchakalian, Ruth Wall, and James Weeks. We are also interested in acquiring works by these artists, and welcome your communication.
