FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Gallery No. 85 is dedicated to contemporary printmaking and works on paper, a historically rich and evolving medium we champion through a roster of more than 30 artists working locally, nationally, and internationally.

We represent printmakers across disciplines, including etching, lithography, screenprint, and woodblock, alongside painters whose chosen surface is paper. Paper is their common ground, but each artist brings a distinct technique, visual language, and perspective. Together, they show why works on paper remain one of the most vital and expressive forms in contemporary art, offering collectors an exceptional range from intimate, finely detailed pieces to bold, large-scale works.

Building on the legacy of Davidson Galleries, we bring forward fresh perspectives and new voices while honoring the craftsmanship at the heart of fine printmaking.

Through technical mastery and personal narrative, our artists create work that lives beyond the gallery in homes, workplaces, and community spaces. Whether you are just beginning your collection or deepening a lifelong practice, we offer specialized guidance at every stage.
