History
Palm Avenue Fine Art was founded by Robert Wilson in 1998. Robert opened his first gallery in Nantucket in 1977 and has been the curator and procurer to master artists and fine art for 46 years. His humble beginnings started in the smallest of shacks located in South Worth, Nantucket, as he grew and cultivated his expertise, he then moved to Candle Street, and would eventually settle on Main Street where he found resounding success for over 20 years. Being inspired by the rich cultural heritage of Sarasota, Wilson chose to make the next home of his passion and enterprise on Palm Avenue where it remains today. His devotion to works of traditional mastery and impressionism has solidified Palm Avenue Fine Art as the gold standard for the finest art in Sarasota.
Customer Reviews:
“This gallery is like a museum. The collection of artists is astounding. We stop here every time we visit Sarasota. There is always new and fresh art to learn more about.” – Ellen T.
“Gorgeous collection of top-quality realist and impressionist style paintings. We always make it a point to visit this gallery when we are in Sarasota. The staff is friendly and attentive but not overbearing as in so many other galleries. Definitely worth a visit!” – Michael P.
“There is no other gallery in Sarasota that has the depth of talent that Palm Avenue Fine Art Gallery has…hands down. You won’t find 200$ paintings here because these artists are considered the finest locally and nationally and some…worldwide! You will find paintings from several hundred dollars to over a hundred thousand dollars, but many are under 10-20,000. If you want a Joseph McGurl, A Dominic Avant, a Joseph Paquet painting you will surely not be expecting to pay a few hundred dollars for these artists…they are nationally known, collected by museums, and display formidable talent that sucks the breath right out of your lungs. Those paintings are worth every penny, and they will hold their worth 500 years from now. The gallery setting is lovely, opening nights are friendly and display gorgeous work. I bring all the art lovers in my world here more than any other place in town because I know that my art lover will find a treasure. Every painting I own…and I saved for many of them…brings me joy every single day. I don’t work for the gallery, and I don’t get a cut from any painting bought by my friends…. I just know where to go in Sarasota to see the finest work by living artists today. I go to Palm Avenue Fine Arts Gallery to see the world’s finest artists and also our city’s finest artist. It takes a gallery owner with a fine eye and decades in the business to be able to choose the best work from both a local and worldwide spectrum of talent. We are lucky to have that here in our city at Palm Avenue Fine Arts Gallery.” – Terry M.
