What We Do

Lane Art Management builds important collections reflecting our client’s personal aesthetic while speaking the language of design.

Clients. Artists. Gallerists. Auction houses. Interior designers. Framers. Building relationships every step along the way will always be at the core of what we do. 

We procure art on your behalf - a single fantastic painting, a curated collection or somewhere in between. Then, oversee everything from sourcing to framing to installation. 

We realize that special paintings, prints and works on paper come from everywhere, so we travel to fine art fairs, distinguished galleries, and artists’ studios around the world. This allows us to keep abreast of the latest trends in the art market and receive early access to the most collectable artworks and sculpture.

Artist Highlight - Gene Davis (Am. 1920-1985)

Gene Davis was an American abstract painter best known for his use of multicolored vertical stripes. He was a major contributor to the Color Field and Post-Painterly Abstraction movements, and a prominent figure of the Washington Color School, the only major art movement to emerge from the nation’s capital.

Davis viewed his nonacademic background as a blessing, freeing him from traditional art school limitations, which is reflected in the improvisational quality of his early work. In the 1960s, critics identified him as a leader of the Washington Color School, a group of painters creating abstract compositions in acrylic colors on unprimed canvas. Their work exemplified the "primacy of color" as defined by critic Barbara Rose.

In discussing his stripe work, Davis emphasized not just the importance of color, but also "color interval"—the rhythmic, almost musical effects created by irregular color variations within a composition. In 1972 Davis created Franklin's Footpath, the world’s largest artwork at the time, by painting colorful stripes on the street in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the world's largest painting, Niagara (43,680 square feet), in a parking lot in Lewiston, NY.
