http://www.walterwickisergallery.com/

The Wickiser Gallery has received numerous reviews in ARTnews, Art In America and many other internationally recognized publications. Clients and visitors to the gallery have included Woody Allen, Betsy Bloomingdale, Kim Catrall, Leo Castelli, Michael Douglas, Alex Katz, Phillip Pearlstein, Sally Michel Avery, Sarah Kuniyoshi, Ted Koppel, Jacklyn Kennedy Onassis, Geraldo Rivera, Sam LeFrak and Paul Volker. Walter Wickiser’s career as an art dealer formally began in 1990 in Soho, NY, when he became the first director of the first gallery to be established in the United States from main land China.  It has always been the focus of the Wickiser Gallery to create a visual dialogue between these cultures, and simultaneously remind us of the ability of the arts to transcend cultural boundaries. Early in the history of the Wickiser Gallery in 1993, the United States State Department and Art For Embassy’s Program became interested in exhibiting Wickiser’s choice of Asian artist in United States Embassy’s in Seoul, Korea, Manila, Philippines, Quatar, Bucharest, Romania and Cypress. Currently, Wickiser’s collection is being exhibited in the United States Embassy in Moscow. Both the Clinton and Bush administrations have invited Wickiser to the White House.  The son of artist and art educator Ralph Wickiser – who was former the Chairman of the graduate art program at Pratt University from 1962-1978 – Walter Wickiser was born and raised in the American art world amongst internationally renowned modern artists including Franz Kline, Jacob Lawrence, George McNeil, Stephen Pace and Phillip Pearlstein.

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.
