D. Wigmore Fine Art, Inc. was established in 1980 to specialize in the major historic styles of American art. The gallery owns an extensive inventory of 19th and 20th century works that center on four historic styles of American art: Hudson River School 18401880; Impressionism and PostImpressionism 18801920; the Precisionist, Fauve and Cubist Realist styles of Modernism 19101947; and the rural and urban styles of the American Scene of the 1930s1940s.
