Cavalier Galleries
405 Greenwich Avenue,
Greenwich, CT 06830
http://www.cavaliergalleries.com/
Gallery owner Ron Cavalier's passion for art began the first time he visited the Hirshhorn estate in Greenwich, Connecticut some 34 years ago. His father, whose art foundry had been serving the art world since the late 1950s, restored the sculpture at the Hirshhorn estate prior to the collection being delivered to the Smithsonian Institution’s new art museum, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, on the mall in Washington, D.C. It was Ron's numerous visits to the Hirshhorn home, and the subsequent study of this immense collection that includes important examples of virtually every major painter from 1870- 1970 including John Singer Sargent, Winslow Homer, Albert Bierstadt, Pablo Picasso, William De Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Edward Hopper and Jasper Johns, that led to his diverse interest in art. Over the past two decades, Cavalier Gallery has developed relationships with a world-class group of painters, sculptors and photographers. Works by the artists represented by Cavalier Galleries Inc today, collectively, have either been exhibited at or are in the permanent collections of most major museums in the United States, Europe and Asia.

HAWAII

A year later Jim was offered a commercial location in a vacated building on the Windward side of Oahu. Jim accepted the offer and moved into the building, located on the only road following the coast on the eastern side of the island. His vision was that if you visit Oahu and take a drive around the island, you will have the opportunity to see great art at Sunshine Arts Gallery! Over the years, Sunshine Arts has improved their building and hosts a large 3600 square foot airconditioned gallery filled with fine art. Sunshine Arts represents over 60 artists, as well as a full service custom picture framing department, a wholesale mat department.
