For those who are in the know, The Private View Gallery, located at 212 Brazilian Avenue in Palm Beach, opened in March of 2014. For those who want to learn more about contemporary art and build their art collection, they should make an appointment at The Private View Gallery, founded by Paige Rense Noland, former editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest, where she served from 1970 to 2010. Private View is curated by Victoria Woodhull Cushing.
The majority of the artwork for sale at the gallery comes directly from artist Kenneth Noland’s (1924-2010) personal collection - works of his own that he held back over the years and works of artists he collected and admired. As a collector, Noland purchased many important works in his lifetime, and it was also common for his peers to trade amongst themselves.
While the gallery operates as an exclusive showroom for Noland’s own paperwork (Noland’s works on canvas are represented by Pace Gallery in New York and London) they also represent several private collections of Noland’s work and collaborate with the estates of other artists. For example, our current exhibition includes not only works by Noland but also sculpture by Sir Anthony (Tony) Caro and works on paper by Hans Hofmann.

About Kenneth Noland
Kenneth Noland (1924-2010) studied at Black Mountain College under Ilya Bolotowsky and Josef Albers. He studied sculpture in Ossip Zadkine’s studio in Paris, where he saw the work of Picasso, Miro and Matisse. Matisse was a particular favorite. In Washington, where he taught for ten years, he studied works by Paul Klee, Hans Hofmann and Augustus Vincent Tack. He later worked alongside fellow Color Field abstractionist Helen Frankenthaler through whom he became aware of the work of Jackson Pollock. Noland also had a strong friendship with David Smith, Morris Louis, and Sir Anthony Caro, with whom he maintained a powerful dialog and mutual respect for the duration of their respective lives.
Kenneth Nolands work is in permanent collections of major museums all over the world including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The National Gallery in Washington, Tate London and the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam to name just a few. He had his first museum retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum in 1977. An abstract painter and sculptor best known for his signature style based on simplified, minimalist abstract compositions, including circles, chevrons, and stripes and shaped canvases, Noland was among the painters for whom the term Post-painterly abstraction was borne. Well known for his works on canvas, throughout his lifetime Noland worked in sculpture, ceramics and had a twenty-year involvement with making handmade paper and monoprints. One of the goals of Private View is to bring the paperwork to the attention of the public at our gallery-- Private View, located at 212 Brazilian Avenue.
