The Susan Teller Gallery was founded in 1988. We feature American paintings, prints, and drawings, of the 1920s to the 1950s, including Urban/Industrial Realism, Modernism, and Surrealism. After 26 years in SoHo we changed format. In February of 2015 we started to work by appointment, as well as to participate in art fairs, to travel, and to continue the development of our presence on the web.
Prior to leaving SoHo recent exhibitions included American Mining, 2014, and American Modernist Drawings, 2013. Among the many one-persons shows were those for Peggy Bacon, Will Barnet, William Baziotes, Bernarda Bryson Shahn, Fannie Hillsmith, Hugh Mesibov, Angelo Pinto, Anne Ryan, Louis Schanker, Ben Shahn, Mitchell Siporin, Harry Sternberg, and Lynd Ward - all artists or artists' estates represented by the gallery.
In addition to numerous exhibition brochures, Teller contributed to Paths to the Press, Printmaking and American Women Artists, 1910-1960, published in 2006, and participated in the video All about Prints, 2009. She has written on the work of Ivan Albright, and cataloged the prints of Isabel Bishop, Dorothy Dehner, Riva Helfond, Fannie Hillsmith, Albert Potter, and William E. Smith. The print catalogue raisonné of the work of Angelo Pinto was published in 2012.
She has spoken on America art of the 1930s and 40s at Syracuse University, the Extension Division of New York University, Artists Equity, the Manhattan Graphics Center, Rutgers -- the State University of New Jersey, the University of Texas at Austin, and the 8th Annual Art Deco Conference, NY. In 2007 she served as a judge at the annual Audubon Artists and Society of American Graphic Artists shows; in 2005 Teller was the recipient of SAGA's Lifetime Achievement Award.
