About gittergallery.com

Thanks for your interest in www.gittergallery.com - here is a little background information.

Doug Gitter began collecting contemporary American Folk art when he was only twenty-three years old and over the last twenty plus years he has cultivated close and rewarding relationships with many of the artists, several of whom are now recognized in the Smithsonian Institution and The American Folk Art Museum in New York. Traveling to visit the artists reached national acclaim when a reviewer of his collection claimed, "when Doug Gitter says he's an overachiever, it is like saying Picasso was a fair artist...Doug Gitter collects some of the best folk and primitive art in the South." (Southern Living Magazine, July 1995)

Doug, an attorney and former restauranteur, owned Doug's Place in New Orleans, the first two restaurants in America which combined Folk Art with dining prior to the creation of The House of Blues. Doug hopes to share his passion for the genre by creating museum quality reproductions and making them available to a broad audience at affordable prices. Gitter Gallery's artwork is merchandised through department stores, museum gift shops, retail stores, local gift boutiques, and our website. With every purchase made, a portion of the proceeds from each sale goes to the artist or his/her estate.
