Hirsch Fine Art

Hirsch Fine Art was started in 1994 by Jay Rosenbaum when he moved to Taos, New Mexico and opened a gallery. Prior to that time, Mr. Rosenbaum, a realtor and attorney in Washington, D.C. had collected art for decades. Concentrating on Washington artists and later collecting works on paper by first and second generation Taos and Santa Fe artists, the idea for a gallery was the inevitable progression from collector to dealer. During the years in New Mexico, Mr. Rosenbaum expanded his collection to include works by Modernists and Latin American Masters. The majority of the collection continues to be works on paper comprising drawings, watercolors, pastels, signed and numbered graphics, and other paper media. While looking over the collection, you will mainly see the works of deceased artists who are referenced in books and whose art is found at auction both in the U.S. and internationally. The collection also includes the works of several contemporary artists who Mr. Rosenbaum believes continue the tradition of excellence found in the art of those whose reputations have long been established. In the year 2001, Mr. Rosenbaum moved Hirsch Fine Art to Miami, FL and became a private dealer in one of the most vibrant, art-conscious cities in the U.S. today. In August 2004, Mr. Rosenbaum reopened Hirsch Fine Art to the public in a beautiful new gallery on Commodore Plaza in Coconut Grove. His philosophy behind this ever changing collection is that it is possible to own museum quality work without being "rich." By purchasing works on paper by these artists, who are all represented in museums, many people can build an impressive collection of first rate work. It is a combination of taste, style, knowledge, an educated eye, and research that Hirsch Fine Art can offer both the beginning and seasoned collector.
