gallery neptune & brown celebrates 45 years of Robert Brown Gallery serving the art community and championing artists. A New York native, Robert Brown originally opened his eponymous art gallery in 1978 on the Upper East Side in Manhattan. His passion for the arts grew through his extensive travels while working in satellite communications in Europe and Africa and through his exposure to museums, artists, galleries and major collections. While his formal career in the arts began humbly through his representation of a single sculptor, Brown has since cultivated a thriving full-time business.
In 1981 Brown moved to Washington DC, a city he knew from his years studying law at George Washington University. Beginning with Swiss artist, Fifo Stricker, he initiated an exhibition program which has stretched over forty years and five public gallery spaces in the District. The gallery has exhibited hundreds of artists, national and international, and has participated in over thirty Art Fairs--boasting private collectors and museum buyers worldwide. Robert Brown has been an anchor of the DC contemporary art community, fostering creativity and inclusiveness. Brown served as the president of the Georgetown galleries on Bookhill and as president of the Dupont Circle Gallery Association. The Gallery was renamed Neptune and Brown in 2011 to include Brown’s wife and fellow art professional, Christine Neptune. The gallery welcomes everyone from children to art lovers, collectors, artists, curators, and educators.
Please join us in celebrating FORTY-FIVE exciting years in the arts from New York and Washington bringing an extensive breadth of talented international and national painters, sculptors, printmakers, and photographers to public viewing. This exhibition will be a survey of the diverse talent that Robert Brown Gallery has championed for decades including Mel Bochner, William Kentridge, Linn Meyers, Joseph Solman, Max Beckman, Hannelore Baron, Oleg Kudryashov, Fifo Stricker, and David Nash.
