About Hackett-Freedman Gallery

Founded in 1987, Hackett-Freedman Gallery specializes in finding and exhibiting important works by twentieth-century modern masters and select contemporary artists with a strong emphasis on postwar American and Californian art. The gallery has developed a reputation for curating museum-quality exhibitions and is considered a leading source for superior American modern, abstract expressionist, and Bay Area figurative works.

Hackett-Freedman has mounted significant exhibitions of works by Milton Avery, Marsden Hartley, Hans Hofmann, Gaston Lachaise, Elie Nadelman, Max Weber, Joan Miró, among others. The gallery organizes bimonthly solo and group exhibitions featuring historic or current work by postwar masters including Richard Diebenkorn, Louise Nevelson, David Park, Manuel Neri, Frank Lobdell, Paul Wonner, Judith Rothschild, Gustavo Ramos Rivera, Wayne Thiebaud, Willem de Kooning, Joan Mitchell, Robert Motherwell, and Emerson Woelffer.

We continue to explore many aspects of art from California, featuring artists who in our estimation have produced notable work. We also organize survey exhibitions highlighting the richness of postwar San Francisco and Southern California artistic circles and drawing connections to parallel movements within the New York School and other artistic movements.

Co-owners Michael Hackett and Tracy Freedman and the gallery’s professional staff organize bimonthly exhibitions and extensive catalogues to showcase historically important and exceptional works. The gallery’s extensive website permits viewers real-time access to new works in inventory, exhibition information, essays, biographical details, and bibliographic links for more than fifty artists. The gallery also advises museums, curators and private collectors on modern and contemporary works in their collections and assists publishers in organizing monographs and exhibitions.
