History / Mission of the Gallery

Galerie de Stijl was created in the winter of 2007 by artist Lance Aram Rothstein to provide an online home for contemporary modern art. While greatly inspired by the artists of the de Stijl movement of the early 20th Century, we also accept and display many different styles of art.  We are particularly interested in works in the styles of de Stijl, Bauhaus, Minimalism, Cubism, Art Deco, Mod, Pop, Op Dada,  Surrealism,  Abstract and the like.

Our Permanent Collection is an amalgam of works including artists from around the world working in a multitude of media. Some famous, some unknown, basically whatever struck the fancy of the curator.

Our online Library is a way of sharing some of the other items collected over the years. It contains rare books, magazines, museum exhibit catalogs etc.  Some have been digitized for display online, others are merely listings for reference or suggested reading material. They are not avaialble for loan. Please contact the curator if you have any questions.

Our initial goal is to have at least four juried exhibitions per year with themes to be determined. Some will be open to artists, others will be by invitation only. Please check our Upcoming Exhibits page for the most current information.

Galerie de Stijl is currently an online gallery only but our aspiration is to eventually have an actual physical gallery to house the collection and display exhibitions. We also have plans for a magazine to showcase the work as well. These goals will only be possible with the support of members like you.
