Art Gallery in New York, United States.

David Findlay Jr. Fine Art traces its roots to Kansas City, MO, where William Wadsworth Findlay opened a gallery in 1870. Among the artists to note, whose works were sold by his firm, were works by three of the greatest American artists of the 19th century, Frederick Remington, George Caleb Bingham, and Charles Russell.

The Findlay Galleries prospered in Kansas City through two generations. In 1936, David Findlay Sr., one of the founder’s three grandsons, opened a New York City gallery. Many of the most important paintings now in the Amon Carter Museum were acquired from David Findlay Sr., including Remington’s greatest early work, A Dash for the Timber.

After working with his grandfather for 10 years, David Findlay Jr. opened his own gallery in 1982, in the Fuller Building, in order to specialize in American 19th- and 20th-century paintings and sculpture. In 1988, Lee Findlay Potter joined her father in operating the gallery. In recent years, Louis Newman has assumed the role of gallery director in which capacity he has brought over three decades of experience representing both Contemporary Art and estates of mid-20th-century American artists.

With the arrival of the 21st century, David Findlay Jr. moved into larger quarters to better exhibit and represent its growing roster of major American artists. The gallery continues to explore the rich history of American Art including artists of the Hudson River School, the American Impressionists, the Ash Can group, the Stieglitz group, the 1930s and 1940s American Modernists, the Indian Space painters, the second generation Abstract Expressionists, as well as many important Contemporary artists.
