Welcome to Amy Kaslow Gallery, where concrete floors give way to wide open industrial space bathed in natural light. We began in NW, Washington, DC and moved a few miles north where our Bethesda location showcases a wide range of emerging and leading contemporary artists.

As longtime journalists, we recognize the essence of the story. We select artists with narratives as compelling as the pieces they create.

Our newest additions come from Australia’s Central Desert where Aboriginal masters create canvases called Dreamings. Deep in color and detail, they are topographical views of the lives and ancestral influences among the world’s longest existing people.

Life experience informs the magnetic pieces in our “Art and Autocracy in the Americas” exhibition showcasing some of the finest creatives across the continents, each accompanied by context, history and trajectory. DC TRENDING calls it “a cultural reckoning wrapped in exceptional artistry.”

Our collection of African American Joseph Holston’s works distills a half century of creativity. His finest screenprints, etchings, and oils on canvas show simple, daily doings of men, women and children, with rich color combinations and tone on tone pigment make the ordinary evocative. This exhibition followed our retrospective of another leading American Artist, Mimi Herbert, whose acrylic sculptures delighted visitors and can be viewed, like Holston's paintings at the National Gallery of Art, among other top museums.

Fernández de la Fuente always delights us with his oils on canvas and poster-sized wood block prints. The Havana-based artist probes contemporary issues in his beloved 1930s and 1940s design, with charming shapes and beautiful tones that celebrate a freer time and belie the difficulties of today’s Cubans.

Our original artist-in-residence Jane Kell returned to the gallery with a gorgeous, immersive collection of abstract paintings including small studies on paper and large oils on canvas. Her work pays homage to open skies, sumptuous in color and form.

We proudly show the ethereal landscapes of Ukrainian painter Jarolsav Leonets, who frantically covered his country to capture its rugged beauty before Russia’s ravaging invasion.

Panama's talented young Pascual Rudas, celebrates the expanse of naked figures gliding through water and space with lightness and limitlessness.

It's all about the grain and the burl in the sinewy three dimensional wall works of wood sculptor Renee Balfour, who whittles, files and sands from roughly cut American Walnut and Cherry.

Smithsonian awardee John Geci’s striking blown glass vessels dress our tables and windows. Noah James Saunders mystifies and mesmerizes with his lifelike steel portraits in 3-D steel wire. Andrew Kaslow’s grand piano tables, topped with rare woods, grace the gallery floor.

Always incoming (and outgoing): elegant clay vessels from Africa's Zulu Nation, miniatures from Uzbekistan's Davron Toshev and ethereal small works from Martina Dalla Stella in the foothills of the Italian Alps. 

Explore these treasures and so much more. Enter another world on Bethesda’s Norfolk Avenue.

OUR ROOTS

Amy Kaslow’s love of botanicals stems from growing up along Beach Drive, where great swaths of her mother's colorful spring flowers spilled down into Rock Creek Park. Today, the gardener’s daughter trains a lens on Mother Nature’s best. Striking images come from her own soil, where she and family tend beds of 65-year-old shade-loving heirlooms to this season’s new cultivars. 

Nature is her palate as she creates large format, limited edition fine art prints for collectors and designers. Welcome to the garden!
