The Kymara Gallery

The Kymara Gallery
The Kymara Gallery is a showcase for the finest international modern and contemporary artists. A remarkable inventory of historic original fine art is available to the discerning collector. Established in 1985, the gallery has been serving New England for over twenty years. Since 1985, The Kymara Gallery has represented the finest international and regional artists and musicians. Originally located in the carriage house of our Victorian inn, located in the village of Kennebunkport, Maine, the gallery houses a large inventory of modern art and music. We feature folk, outsider, religious, surrealist, sexually deviant, and pop art, as well as an original music library. Since we believe that art has no boundaries, we host three day pop up "Happenings" in unique, historic locations, such as the Chelsea Hotel, NYC. During these events our artists work in collective groups which reflect their unique cultural and artistic identities to create installations that include art, music, performance and design. Our goal is to step outside of the traditional gallery walls to link underground art and, counter-culture music and performance to the world. Kymara's professional management team is dedicated to providing the highest level of artistic representation. We can be found in our original location 3 Temple Street, Kennebunkport, Maine and at The North Dam Mill, 2 Main Street, Biddeford, Maine. Stay at Kymara's Rock 'n Roll Inn to be immersed in the total art and music lifestyle that has become the trademark of The Kymara Gallery, Kymara Happenings and Kymara Artistic Management.

The Kymara Gallery News: Charles Gatewood: "Wall Street"
A Look inside Charles Gatewood's "Wall Street"... River Tree Arts and The Kymara Gallery present, "Charles Gatewood's Wall Street," an exhibition of rare vintage and contemporary photographic prints based on the photo essay, "Wall Street." The exhibition illustrates the 1970s style and culture of New York City's notorious financial district and has won acclaim for the photographer's use of architectural imagery and satire. Included in the exhibit are the photographer's legendary portraits of William S. Burroughs, Bob Dylan, Abbie Hoffman, Allen Ginsberg, and Brion Gysin with his "Dream Machine." Gatewood, whose career has spanned over forty-five years as both a fine art photographer and a photojournalist, has worked on assignment for The New York Times and Rolling Stone, Harper's, and Time magazines. The internationally respected photographer is best known for his early documentation of the "modern primitives" movement, and of underground- and sub-cultures of the 1960's to present. Gatewood's diverse portfolio includes teaching at The Photographic Resource Center in Rockport, Maine. He has also been the author of several fine art books, including "Burroughs 23," featuring images of American author William S. Burroughs, and his work appears in worldwide museum collections.
