A view of the new Yankell Legacy Gallery in Stamford, Connecticut. Yankell Legacy Gallery Opening
Artist Stuart Yankell has founded the new Yankell Legacy Gallery in Stamford, Connecticut. The gallery represents the work of Stuart Yankell, his father Samuel L. Yankell and godfather Leon Bibel (1913-1995), as well as Gutzon Borglum (1867-1941) and Mort Walker (1923-2018). Stuart descends from a fascinating artistic lineage, which follows in the generational American traditions of the Wyeth and Calder families. His work celebrates life and the common experiences shared across humanity. He combines abstraction with a kinetic approach rooted in classical lighting and form. The gallery is located in the historic 1916 studio built by Borglum, who sculpted Mt. Rushmore.
