George Henoch Shechtman, Director of Gallery Henoch, has been a Manhattan art dealer for the past forty years. It was 1966, upon graduation from Rutgers University with a degree in Art History, that Mr. Shechtman opened Christopher Street Gallery in Greenwich Village. At this time, he primarily exhibited emerging realist painters, whose works he also began collecting. In the seventies, Mr. Shechtman moved Christopher Street Gallery uptown to Madison Avenue, renaming it Christopher Gallery. After ten years on Madison Avenue he was ready for a change, and in 1982 he opened Gallery Henoch in Soho. While there, Mr. Shechtman continued to exhibit a diverse selection of realist painters. As Chelsea began to emerge as the art center of New York, Mr. Shechtman moved to West 25th Street in the fall of 2000. He has continued to represent painters and sculptors who exemplify the best in contemporary American and European Realism.
