Welcome to Allinson Gallery, Inc. We have been in business since 1978, and specialize
in American, British, and Continental fine prints, drawings, and watercolors in the
Painter-Etcher tradition from 1850 to 1950.
The gallery has maintained an online presence since 1982. That was an exciting time
when e-commerce was beginning. Questions were raised, such as “Would collectors
consider art that they had not seen in person?” “Was the internet a fad?” “Would banks
provide credit cards to galleries that sold works internationally?” “Was art too exalted to
be offered online?” It took nearly a decade to prove that the web was a viable venue for
the art world.
Jane Allinson has a Ph.D. in medieval studies. She has curated museum exhibitions,
published several articles, and co-authored two books on the Philippine painter,
Fernando Amorsolo y Cueto. Seven Deadly Sins is a collaboration of her irreverent
poems and mixed media prints by Ann Chernow, N.A.
Derek Allinson, Ph.D. is an emeritus professor from the University of Connecticut. He is
revising the catalog raisonné of Sir Frank Short, R.A., P.R.E., R.I., who belonged to the
artistic circle of Whistler, Haden, and their contemporaries.
Allinson Gallery, Inc. publishes online thematic exhibitions: The Artist Pictured, Fine
and Not-so-Fine Dining, Gargoyles, and Devils, I’ve Been Framed, Italy: An Artful
Journey, Prints and Drawings, A Spanish Holiday, and New York in Fine Art. Allinson
Gallery, Inc. sends forth enthusiastic thematic online print catalogs.

In Relics, you’ll visit a speakeasy.

You can almost hear the whispers and speech,
In Marsh’s crowded Coney Island Beach.
Sloan’s busy New York scenes are full of hints
Of life and love for Connoisseurs of Prints.

From the Weather Bureau: New York in the mist.

Bay Windows, Hassam’s Church Across the Way,
Arms’ Woolworth Building’s a foil to evil,
It’s titled: American Cathedral.
