Eric Firestone Gallery
This gallery stages beautiful shows that make overlooked art histories feel urgent again. Psychedelic mosaics, hard-edge abstraction, gestural figuration, and under-recognized American artists, many from the 70s, thunder back into the spotlight.

Walk in With Us
This ground-floor space is on Great Jones Street, the same street where Jean-Michel Basquiat lived. Keith Haring's loft was around the corner, near The Great Jones Cafe, where all the artists hung out in the 1980s and ‘90s.
The gallery champions American artists from the 60s and 70s whose careers were disrupted by shifting market trends. Their work hangs alongside colorful, sensory works by current-day artists.
Exhibitions range from oversized abstract canvases and hard-edge minimalism to psychedelic mosaics and gestural figuration. Every one is deeply researched, so the shows give you a story to follow and a context for why these artists matter.
About the Gallery
Eric Firestone started art dealing in Arizona in 1994 at age 22, selling arts and crafts furniture, and little-known local artists. He moved to East Hampton in 2010, shifting his focus to mid-century American artists. In 2015, he opened the Great Jones Street location and amped up his contemporary program. His projects, including the pop-up fair That 70s Show, reframe art history with fresh relevance.
