about

barbara archer gallery was founded in 1995 to showcase the art of self-taught artists working outside the art-historical mainstream.  our focus has evolved to include significant contemporary art in various media and work by select emerging artists, in addition to historically important vernacular art.  

we work closely with major museums, seasoned and new collectors alike. professional services range from collection management to installation design, conservation and appraisals. 

barbara archer gallery has participated in the outsider art fair, ny, ny; the national black fine art show, ny, ny; aaf contemporary art fair, ny, ny; art london, uk; and master drawings london, uk. 

after leaving our gallery’s bricks and mortar home for a virtual only gallery, we have continued to cultivate relationships with artists while welcoming the opportunity to partner with new audiences and venues. our goal remains to offer innovative and provocative contemporary art.
