ABOUT
Rebekah Jacob Gallery’s principal focus is the representation of an international group of contemporary artists whose diverse practices include painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography and video. Since its founding, the gallery has subscribed to the highest level of connoisseurship and scholarship with an in-depth focus on modern art and photography of the American South. Each artist has exhibited widely in the US and abroad and is included in museum and corporate collections. The gallery adheres to a rigorous curatorial model and maintains an accelerated exhibition schedule, non-media specific, that features emerging contemporary artists, as well as artists from all generations. The gallery is located in historic downtown Charleston, SC.
Throughout the year, Rebekah Jacob Gallery organizes survey exhibitions that explore current themes through abstract panels by contemporary artists such as Tim Hussey and Cynthia Knapp. The gallery has also focused on special projects that explore the Civil Rights and Martin Luther King era by exhibiting black and white photography by photojournalists James Karales and Ernest Withers. On an annual basis, The Imagist features seven contemporary Southern artists whose photography and video explores central themes to the South.
In addition to the promotion of the work of our stable of artists, we actively educate both the new collector and seasoned collector, as well as offer an ethical and confidential alternative to the resale of art works. We also offer an array of appraisal services for resale, insurance, estate, and bankruptcy, and equitable distribution purposes on behalf of private individuals and corporations.
