With offices in New York's Soho and Kent, Connecticut, Portico New York, Inc., is a fine art firm headed by art advisor and curator Steven Lowy that specializes in "The Art of Tomorrow" - 20th Century modernist paintings and drawings - with an emphasis on artists represented in the "Founding Collection" of the Guggenheim Museum.
Founded in 1981, Portico has established a reputation for identifying under-recognized non-objective art of superior quality and historical value, bringing it to the attention of both institutions and private collectors, and building a market for these works in the process.
Mr. Lowy has curated and published catalogue essays for numerous museum and gallery exhibitions, and has consulted to such venerable institutions as the S.R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Villa Stuck in Munich.
