The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery has selected Lincoln Schatz’s 2008 commission for Esquire magazine, Portrait of the 21st Century for inclusion in their collection. The series of nineteen portraits, which includes George Clooney, Jeff Bezos and LeBron James, will be on view beginning Aug. 20 in the exhibition “Americans Now” through 2011.

Curators and historians at the National Portrait Gallery recommend to the museum’s commission (a board of 17 people who serve in an advisory role for the museum) a selection of objects portraying those who have made significant contributions to American life and culture. The works are chosen for their biographical and aesthetic impact and are created in a wide variety of mediums– paintings, sculpture, prints, drawings, photographs and video art.

Quint Contemporary Art will be open by appointment only through September, 2010 as we transition into our new space. The gallery will re-open in a larger location this fall. We are especially excited about our first exhibition, which will be an exhibition of new paintings by artist Kim MacConnel. This will be Kim’s eighth exhibition with Quint Contemporary Art and will coincide with his October 2010 retrospective at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego.

We look forward to sharing the new space with you this fall!
