About The Gallery
The Lusher Gallery LLC is a privately owned and operated boutique dealership based in New York, bringing to bear almost four decades worth of experience in the art market as it secures for its clients the highest quality of discretely individualized services and assistance in navigating the often complicated milieu of art world transactions, doing so through private appointments scheduled to best accomodate the client. The Gallery’s owner and director is Nicholas Lusher, considered by many to be one of the world’s foremost specialists in all genres of Bermuda-related Fine Art & Antiques, a field which he has embraced and mastered over the course of a long professional career. Mr. Lusher takes a passionate interest in trading mostly historic oil paintings, watercolors, and drawings, as well as original vintage posters, historic prints, original antique maps, early photographs, rare books (including signed and inscribed books), historic autographs and manuscripts, quality paper items, sculpture, coins, antique silver, and banknotes. Prior to his permanent move to New York City in January 2011, Mr. Lusher operated two "brick and mortar" galleries in Bermuda, and served as a trustee at both the Bermuda National Gallery (where he was invited to curate and lecture) and at the Bermuda Society of the Arts, a non-profit institution dedicated to Contemporary Art. Besides its unique position as specialists in Bermuda-related Works of Art, the Lusher Gallery has, since 2011, expanded its interest and expertise to Caribbean and West Indian Works of Art as well.
By virtue of its long history of intimate daily involvement with the International Art Market, its participation in many of the industry’s leading events and symposiums, and its rigorous and extensive networking activities throughout the globe, the Gallery prides itself on its ability to provide the highest standard of due diligence on behalf of its clients as it delivers its many highly-personalized services, such as custom-tailored professional searches for specific artwork; in this regard, the Gallery is more than happy to assist in the resolution of its clients’ purchasing options. Using an extensive network of Art World Professionals, it can source works at its clients' behest at the fairest market price. For absolute discretion, the Gallery can also bid on its clients’ behalf at auction. If a client should desire to re-sell a Work of Art they already own, the Gallery can employ its substantial network of collectors, dealers, other galleries, and museums in seeking to find the right fit at the best price. The Gallery is also well-positioned to provide assistance in those areas of the market concerned with conservation, framing, insurance, and shipping; as such, if you should have any questions about moving or reframing a work you own, feel free to query the Gallery. By working with the best paper and fine art conservators in New York, London, and beyond, the Gallery is poised to bring these often-complex processes to a successful conclusion.
Over the duration of the Gallery’s existence, it has handled many major works by artists who have worked in the Bermuda, Caribbean and West Indies region (and beyond), including: George Ault, Reynolds Beal, William Chadwick, Steven Etnier, Colonel Edmund G. Hallewell, Harry Hoffman, Edward James, Norman Lewis, George Luks, Dodge Macknight, Georgia O’Keeffe, John Whorf, Clark Greenwood Vorhees, Edwin Ambrose Webster and Mary Parker West.
In July 1986, on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, The Lusher Gallery was chosen to source a wedding gift on behalf of the People of Bermuda to the Royal couple.
In sum, the Lusher Gallery prides itself on delivering a unique and deeply personalized art-buying experience, backed by the trust and faith earned as the result of nearly four decades of unimpeachable integrity and concern for its clients’ best interests.
