The Foster/White Gallery is an art gallery in Seattle, Washington, in the United States. It was started as the Richard White Gallery in 1968 in the Pioneer Square neighborhood.
Richard White started the Richard White Gallery at 311½ Occidental Street, in the Pioneer Square district of Seattle, in 1968. In 1973, he sold it to Donald Foster, who renamed it the Foster/White Gallery. [1] [2] Foster sold it in December 2002 to the Huang family, owners of the Bau-Xi Gallery in Vancouver, British Columbia. [3] [4] In April 2006 it moved to a renovated building at 220 3rd Avenue South, a few blocks from its original location. [5] It earlier had other premises in Kirkland, Rainier Square, and Pioneer Square. [4]
In the mid-1980s, Foster/White was one of five galleries which started the Pioneer Square Exhibition Magazine, a monthly magazine to publicise their shows. [6] In 1990 the gallery was among the founding members of the Seattle Art Dealers Association, [7] which in 2005 took over publication of the magazine, renaming it the SADA Exhibition Guide. [6]
The gallery shows mostly contemporary art and work by artists of the Northwest School.[ citation needed ] Some work by Kenneth Callahan, Alden Mason, Mark Tobey and George Tsutakawa is permanently on show. [8] The first Seattle showing of glass work by Dale Chihuly was at the gallery in 1977. [1] Janna Watson showed work there in 2016. [9]
Pioneer Square is a neighborhood in the southwest corner of Downtown Seattle, Washington, US. It was once the heart of the city: Seattle's founders settled there in 1852, following a brief six-month settlement at Alki Point on the far side of Elliott Bay. The early structures in the neighborhood were mostly wooden, and nearly all burned in the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. By the end of 1890, dozens of brick and stone buildings had been erected in their stead; to this day, the architectural character of the neighborhood derives from these late 19th century buildings, mostly examples of Richardsonian Romanesque.
The Saatchi Gallery is a London gallery for contemporary art and an independent charity opened by Charles Saatchi in 1985. Exhibitions which drew upon the collection of Charles Saatchi, starting with US artists and minimalism, moving to the Damien Hirst-led Young British Artists, followed by shows purely of painting, led to Saatchi Gallery becoming a recognised authority in contemporary art globally. It has occupied different premises, first in North London, then the South Bank by the River Thames, and finally in Chelsea, Duke of York's HQ, its current location. In 2019 Saatchi Gallery became a registered charity and began a new chapter in its history. Recent exhibitions include the major solo exhibition of the artist JR, JR: Chronicles, and London Grads Now in September 2019 lending the gallery spaces to graduates from leading fine art schools who experienced the cancellation of physical degree shows due to the pandemic.
