THE GALLERY & THE ARTISTS

After her 20+ years of experience in the art world, the gallery was established in February 2014 (originally named ART 3) by Silas von Morisse formerly AVP Gallery Manager of Christie’s Haunch of Venison and Helly Nahmad Gallery New York. In 2017, ART 3 gallery was renamed SILAS VON MORISSE GALLERY. In 2018, after 5 years of operation at its brick and mortar location, the gallery closed its space to transition to Online Viewing Room and Pop Up Shows.

During those 5 years (2014-2019), the gallery gained a respectful follow up by notorious art critics, established artists and collectors.

The gallery program was multidisciplinary, process oriented and leaning towards abstract works aiming to nurture new emerging art while presenting older generations of artists' work deserving re-introduction.

The gallery presented the first New York solos shows by: CLAUDIA BAEZ, DAN BAINBRIDGE, AMEL BENNYS, MATTHEW COLE, ALEXIS DE CHAUNAC, ADOLFO DORING, JULIETTE DUMAS, LINDA KARSHAN, ANTHONY MILER, SERGIO PURTELL, FRAUKE SCHLITZ, OWEN SCHUH, BRETT WALLACE, JUSTIN WILLIAMS.

The program developed to include celebrated and renown artists such as JOE AMRHEIN, FRANCES BARTH, RICHMOND BURTON, DAVID GOERK, ALAIN KIRILI, MONIKA WEISS, MARJORIE WELISH, KES ZAPKUS.

In 2020, the gallery shifted its focus to include artists working with the spiritual in art and the depiction of nature and the natural world. This approach was revealed by French Art Critic, Pierre Restany, who drafted in 1978 the "Rio Negro Manifesto" along with two artists: the Brazilian (born in Poland) Frans Krajcberg, and the Yugoslavian based in Brazil Sepp Baendereck. In 1978, the three men traveled along the Rio Negro River. That expedition triggered a profound stream of consciousness in the three men on the urgency of defending the Amazon and combining ethics with esthetics in art. The “Manifesto” yearns for a return to “Art for Nature”.

Currently, the gallery collaborates with art consultants, interior designers and gallery owners to continue promoting its artists.
