It is exciting to be launching a new gallery in beautiful Litchfield, Connecticut. Our hope is that the gallery will become a destination for art lovers and connoisseurs near and far. The quarterly exhibition schedule will feature carefully curated exhibitions exploring an almost limitless variety of themes. Planned exhibitions include The English Country House, Folk Art, Old Master Paintings and Garden Furnishings. We look forward to sharing our passion for and knowledge of Fine Art, Antiques and Design.
The art market is complex and can be difficult to navigate. Drawing on thirty years of experience working in the art world, we can guide and advise you. Andrea Keogh’s early career included positions at an auction house, a bank’s art advisory service, and several art galleries in London and New York. The art business and connoisseurship were learned working with some of the art trade’s well-known dealers – Michael Altman, Chris Beetles, Piero Corsini, John Driscoll, Howard Godel and more recently Jeffrey Tillou. American Art is the area in which she is most conversant but she is knowledgeable about Old Masters, British Art, Folk Art, Decorative Arts and Prints.
A M.A. Candidate at Cooper-Hewitt/Parsons in the History of Art & Design, Andrea is just an exam shy of her Master’s degree. The Art, Architecture, Interiors and Gardens of English Country Houses are a longstanding interest. She has studied English Country Houses for years, visiting many including a number as a participant of an Attingham Study Week and a Country Houses of Scotland course offered at the University of Glasgow.
Andrea is an experienced gallerist who has run businesses buying and selling Fine Art. Scully Keogh Fine Art was the first venture. From New York’s Upper East Side, she bought and sold American Art to private clients, museums and the trade for two years before joining forces with Franklin Riehlman in 1996. For five years Keogh & Riehlman Fine Art sold American and European Art from a townhouse gallery at the corner of Madison Avenue and 73rd Street before Keogh left the business in 2001. Andrea S. Keogh Works of Art, LLC was started in 2003, to buy, sell and consult in the fields of American, European and Folk Art. This business combined connoisseurship of fine art and an interest in unique folk art objects.
Our inventory, fine or folk, is carefully researched, appropriately conserved (when necessary) and presented. A discerning eye assures you of the condition, quality and value of each work.
Clients include other dealers, private collectors, corporate collections and museums. Over the years Andrea S. Keogh has sold to a number of public institutions including:
Currier Gallery of Art; Manchester, NH
Georgia Museum of Art; Athens, GA
