Jefferson Place Gallery
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Jefferson Place Gallery is an art gallery in Washington, DC. It was founded in 1957 as a coalition of American University artists and others: Robert "Bob" Gates, Helene Herzbrun, V. V. Rankine, Ben "Joe" Summerford. Helene Herzbrun was a partner until 1971. Alice Denny was the first director. Nesta Dorrance purchased the gallery and ran it until it closed in the mid 1970's.
The gallery exhibited "advanced art" and was associated with Washington Color School painters for a number of years and was a major Washington outlet for that art.
