Join us for a special, one-week sneak preview of James Chronister's latest work. We happen to have a gap in our schedule so are taking the opportunity to showcase select recent works by Chronister. 

Please visit us to see four of his new pieces that are part of a larger, new body of work under development for his next solo show. In this work, Chronister continues to explore his fascination with the borderline between abstraction and photo-realism. This event provides a truly unique opportunity to see work-in-progress from this contemporary master of American painting.

We also want to extend our congratulations to Chronister for his piece, "Summer 4" from "Glass Summers", recently acquired by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s permanent collection.

Dana Hemenway begins her residency at the gallery to prepare for her solo show August 20th.



Be in touch with inquiries and questions.

All the best,
Eleanor Harwood & Chloe Ghillani

Read about the Art of Creating Intellectual Property @ Aura Art

ArtIP - Art of creating
Intellectual Property (IP)
Recognition of Intellectual Property ("IP") rights is the foundation on which the entire Fine Art Industry rests. Yet there seems to be limited understanding of IP rights in general and copyright framework in particular among all stakeholders of the Indian Art Industry. Keeping the above in perspective, Aura Art Development Pvt Ltd ("AADPL") is delighted to work closely with Advocate Jamshed Mistry, Founder, International Legal Alliance ("ILA") to put together this publication ArtIP - Art of creating Intellectual Property.

This publication broadly lays down the basic legal framework in India, pertaining to Intellectual Property in Fine Art and highlights some of the practical issues - to serve as a backdrop for further industry-wide deliberations on the subject. It was released earlier this month in Delhi and Mumbai, at the following events:
At The Art Enclave in Index Fairs 2019, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi on August 2, 2019 at the hands of Shri Adwaita Gadanayak, Director-General, National Gallery of Modern Art; Ar Gurpreet Singh, Director, Aakar Design Consultants Pvt Ltd; Founders of AADPL and ILA; artists and gallerists.
At India Business Group (IBG) event, Tote on the turf, Mahalaxmi Racecourse, Mumbai on August 7, 2019 by Mr Vikash Mittersain, Founder & President IBG; Dr Pushpinder Bhatia, Principal, Guru Nanak College of Arts, Science & Commerce; Mr Manoj Agarwal, Director, Shubhalakshmi Polyesters Ltd; Mr Harjeet S Anand; Mr Dilip Mehta; Mr Sangeet Kumar; Artist Rashmi Pitre; Adv Dimple Merchant; Founders of AADPL and ILA; Ms Pranjulaa Singh (contributor to publication) and many other dignitaries and friends.

We express our gratitude to Advocate Laxmi Maria Jenkins, LMJ Law Practice (part of the ILA Network) for significant contribution to this publication. This publication is prepared for educational purposes and not as advice. Legal advice may be sought for specific issues. Nonetheless, we will be pleased to facilitate further deliberation on this subject and see how the Art Collection Management Tool, developed as part of Art Infrastructure Solutions, could be leveraged.

Wegner, Siv Cedering art for Woodstock, Artists for Peace and the Environment 
“Artists for Peace and the Environment”  debuted in summer of ’99 in Rome, NY at the reunion festival for Woodstock. Artists works were collected with the support and agreement of Michael Lang and Robert Kennedy Jr. “Not your parents Woodstock” was the slogan of the event. While curating the collection, I titled the exhibit “Artists for Peace and the Environment.” Calls for peace were not significant that year, peace accords and been signed for Bosnia. The luster of environmental causes was waning somewhat as the glamor of the rally to save the Amazon forest had died out. The Columbine High School massacre lent a picture of an emerging profile of youth in America. Youth and violence. Artists for Peace and the Environment got lost in the shuffle of the violence which surrounded the third Woodstock event. Still, with the help and support of many, I was able to collect what I have called the  Woodstock ’99 Collection. The rising tide of warmth, peace, love and rock and roll of the original Woodstock Nation and all of the hallmark signature anthems were never associated with ’99.

IN an effort to capture the attention to change environmental perceptions the displayed  Graffiti artist Anthony Austang, sculptors Steve Zaluski, and Bob Wade, painter/musicians known and unknown contributed to “Artists for Peace and the Environment”. Capitalizing the importance of peace, love, rock, and roll and Mother Earth these images, new forms of descriptive metaphor addressed the immense magnitude of the issues facing each person then and now. Peace and the Environment are timeless canvases, messages form a simple fundamental universal language, as a collection. The messages that “Now—more than ever—Peace and the Environment go hand in hand.

Opening on August 10th, "Environmental Reflections" with Ty Stroudsburg,  Janet Culbertson, Carol Hunt, Anne Seelbach are on display through September 9th.
