As Contessa Gallery celebrates its 25th anniversary today, we want to thank you for being an integral part of our journey. Over the past quarter-century, your support has allowed us to bring some of the finest art to Cleveland, Palm Beach, Miami, Southampton and beyond, establishing Contessa Gallery as a leading presence in the art world with the largest footprint at Art Miami, as well as a significant impact at other major art fairs in the United States.

Reflecting on these years, we are grateful for the relationships built, the collections curated, and the legacies created for museums, private collectors, families, and artists. From our early sponsorship of the iconic Louise Bourgeois Spider Sculptures in Cleveland to our recent collaboration with the Southampton Arts Center, philanthropy has always been a cornerstone of our work. Contessa Gallery is deeply committed to supporting the arts community, and these partnerships remain central to our mission.

We are also proud to celebrate owner Steve Hartman, who has been honored on the Palm Beach and Hamptons East End Power Lists in 2024. His vision and leadership have been instrumental in guiding Contessa Gallery's growth and shaping our role as a pillar in the arts community.

In the spirit of growth and evolution, Contessa Gallery has expanded to its prominent new 7,000 square foot location in Southampton, NY in June where we continue to showcase a dynamic roster of talented artists. With each addition, we remain committed to pushing boundaries, nurturing creativity, and curating experiences that leave lasting impressions.

As we look to the future, we are excited to continue building collections, fostering artistic talent, expanding our reach, and making a difference in people’s lives. We have some extraordinary events and exhibitions planned to celebrate this momentous silver anniversary. These gatherings will honor our artists, collectors, and community marking this milestone while paving the way for many more years to come. Wishing you and your family a very happy Thanksgiving.

We look forward to welcoming you to Art Miami 2024, taking place from December 3–8, at Booths 540, 541, and 542.

Thank you again for your continued support, passion, and belief in our vision. Here’s to an inspiring future that we look forward to sharing with you.
