Principle Gallery sells work by Jeremy Mann on the eve of his solo exhibition
EB02, a graphite drawing by Jeremy Mann was purchased by a collector based in Verona, Wisconsin, on the eve of his solo exhibition at Principle Gallery in November 2022, which was previewed in that month’s issue of American Art Collector. The collector purchased the drawing over the phone and was his first purchase from Principle. Mann and his parents arrived at the gallery's Alexandria, Virginia, location just moments later.
“As an artist, Jeremy Mann is constantly evolving and creating artworks that speak to his creativity,” says assistant gallery director, Taylor Chauncey. “He isn’t afraid to take risks or push himself to new heights. He’s found a balance between abstraction, realism and fantasy. EB02 is a perfect example of that balance. Whether he’s working in graphite, photography, film, oil or charcoal; Jeremy’s distinguished style shines through.”

Artist sells piece the same month it appeared in American Art Collector
Mary Calengor’s piece Japanese Wedding Basket was featured in a preview of an exhibition at Anne Neilson Fine Art and it had an immediate, unforgettable impact on a collector. “The collector had seen [one of her] paintings in a friend’s home and couldn’t get Mary’s work out of her head. She immediately connected specifically with Japanese Wedding Basket, and at the end of January, the piece was hers,” says a gallery representative.
“I flew down to Charlotte for the opening event, and there, I had the pleasure of meeting the individual that purchased this painting for her new home,” says Calengor. “It’s always marvelous when you have the opportunity to meet with a collector and make a personal connection."
The buyer fell in love with the Japanese basket painting immediately. “The artist’s fine detail is spectacular and the use of paint to create light and dimension really drew me to the piece,” she says. —
