The Gallery on Fifth is the leading art gallery in Naples, voted the best art gallery in South West Florida. The Gallery is situated in one of the most important art towns in the United States, a destination for tourists from all over the US, Europe, and South America. The gallery's first and the best known showroom is on Fifth Avenue South, downtown Naples. Art collectors from all over America travel to Naples to see Gallery's extensive collection of art which varies from the Art Nouveau of Alphonse Mucha, to the surrealism of Vladimir Golub, modern sculptures by Margarita Farre, as well as a unique collection of decorative and functional Damascus steel knives from Siberia available only through Gallery on Fifth.
Recently the second showroom opened its doors to art collectors at Bayfront, a beautiful new area near downtown on Gordon River. The new gallery at Bayfront is entirely dedicated to the original art of modern European artists. The representatives of the Russian school form the heart of the new exposition. This year Gallery's collection was further embellished by the works of such masters as Victoria and Dmitry Levine - impressionists from Russia, Husan Kasimov - the realist painter from Uzbekistan, and Dmitry Dobrovolski - the Ukrainian artist whose mesmerizing colors and mosaic-like technique rendered him world-wide recognition.
The International Design Center is a new venue for the Gallery On Fifth. In May 2006 Gallery opened its third location - north of Naples, in Estero. This showroom is on the first floor of The International Design Center building. With the opening of this showroom, the Gallery extends special invitation to interior decorators and art consultants as well as private art collectors and art connoisseurs. The highlights of the gallery are the works of the prominent Swiss sculptor Housi Knecht, the abstract paintings of Dan Rountree, compositions of pressed flowers by Julie Anne, Howard Behren's palette knife landscapes, and works of many other famous artists from all over the world.
Gallery on Fifth is continuously making a big stir in the Naples art society. Through the past years, it has captured the spot light with two of the most popular events in the history of Fifth Ave. The Gallery hosted an exhibition by the top pop-art idol Peter Max, at which the artist signed personal dedications to the buyers of his works. Gallery on Fifth held the premier showing of Alphonse Mucha's art-nouveau posters which was attended by the artist's grandson, John Mucha. This year Peter Max visited Gallery on Fifth again with his new exposition dedicated to world peace.
Gallery is proud to contribute to a number of Naples charities and recently held a fine art auction to benefit the Community School of Naples. To encourage young art students in Moscow, Gallery On Fifth gives stipends to Surikov Art Academy in Moscow. The Gallery owners are also among the founders of the Russian-American Cultural Center in Washington DC.
Gallery owners say that different styles of art speak to different people, and it's their greatest pleasure to provide a variety of art that welcomes all kinds of art connoisseurs. To keep their clientele highly interested, the owners frequently travel to art shows in Canada, Russia, Asia and Europe to bring back the art work that would be impossible to find in the US. The core group of artists includes: Dmitry and Victoria Levine, Deborah Bigeleisen, Husan Kasimov, Daniel Gelis, Margarita Farre to name just a few. Gallery's collection of fine and decorative art is diverse, but consistent in its excellence and distinction.
