We hope you are all well and staying healthy. New York City is covered with the snow but the spring is around the corner! We are happy to be able to keep operating the gallery and keep it open to the public while following the city guidelines. It seems it has been a great time to collect artworks from artists for both art collectors and also those who have never bought artwork before the pandemic. We are happy to see our artists’ original and reproductive artworks are bringing new joys to our beloved customers.

Agnes Bodor is a Seattle based painter who has been painting cats and landscapes in ink and watercolor for years. AG Gallery has been showing her cat paintings over 5 years, and we are pleased to showcase the entire collection AG Gallery currently holds from her. Each painting is playful and uniquely painted so that you can feel not only that her cats are lively, but you can feel the great joy of making art through her work.
