We are delighted to represent the Addison Gallery of American Art, which has one of the most comprehensive collections of American art in the world.
The Addison Gallery of American Art was conceived in 1928 by Thomas Cochran, who donated 50 paintings by American artists to Phillips Academy in Andover MA in order for an art museum to be established at the school. The museum was completed and opened in 1931. The core collection of approximately 500 works included paintings by Winslow Homer, Arthur B. Davies, George Bellows, and Thomas Eakins.

The museum's purpose was and still is to acquire, preserve, interpret, and exhibit works of art for the education and enjoyment of local, regional, national and international audiences, including the students, faculty, and community of Phillips Academy, and other students, teachers, scholars and the general public.
