Virginia Zabriskie started the art gallery with a one-dollar down payment. It had formerly been the Korman Gallery, a cooperative that included the painters Pat Adams and Clinton Hill (a New York School artist).
Zabriskie Gallery, France
By the 1980s, Zabriskie had two galleries in New York (one for painting and one for sculpture) and another in Paris. The Paris gallery focused on photography and allowed for a "lively exchange" between American and French artists during the 1980s and 1990s. She was honored in 1999 with the Medaille de la Ville de Paris.[1]
The gallery is now located at 57th St and 1st Ave in New York City. The Paris location closed in 1998.[6] Between the years 1992 and 2011 Virginia Zabriskie donated the papers to the SmithsonianArchives of American Art.[5]
