James Cox Gallery

TOP RATED

Located near the historic art colony of Woodstock, NY, our emphasis is on fine art, with special attention devoted to nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century American artists. Established in 1990, the James Cox Gallery at Woodstock is the culmination of over thirty-five years of professional experience in the field of American Art. The owners have a long history of accomplishment dating from 1972 when The Cox Gallery first opened in Allentown, New Jersey. In 1976, James Cox moved to New York City and assumed the position of director of the venerable Grand Central Art Galleries, a position he held until December 1989. His wife Mary Anna Goetz is an accomplished landscape painter and well-known teacher. Seeking an idyllic rural environment while maintaining cultural ties to Manhattan, the Cox's have established a compound near the historic art colony of Woodstock, New York. On a six-acre site, visitors are able to enjoy outdoor sculpture gardens, the Goetz studio and modern gallery facilities all surrounded by the famous Little Beaverkill Creek (renowned for trout fishing). The gallerys' focus is on nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first century American Art. The extensive inventory includes works from the estates of six American painters and sculptors all of whom are exclusively represented by James Cox. Additional selections of historic American art are always available and change weekly. Moreover, James Cox has maintained close working relationships with and represents the work of many of the country's top artists. There is a special emphasis on artwork produced by artists of Woodstock, both past and present. The gallery is perhaps the only full-service art gallery in the Hudson Valley and, as such, offers extensive services including appraisal, restoration, estate management, auction, research and consultancy in virtually any area of American art. Woodstock itself is located two hours from New York City and our gallery in the hamlet of Willow is just seven miles west of the town's colorful Village Green.
