The Anita Shapolsky Gallery is an art gallery that was founded in 1982. It is located at 152 East 65th Street, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, in New York City. The gallery specializes in 1950s and 1960s abstract expressionist art, known as the New York School. It exhibits expressionism, geometric abstraction, and painterly abstraction. The gallery most frequently exhibits works in oil and acrylic, as well as sculpture. It focuses on second-generation abstract expressionists, while also representing younger artists, older Latin American abstract artists, women artists, African-American artists, and established artists. ==History== Anita Shapolsky was born in New York as Anita Kresofsky.〔 She attended Hunter College, where she earned a B.A. and where her interest in art began, and New York University, where she earned an M.A.〔 She married Martin (Meyer) Shapolsky, a realtor who died in 1992, and has a son, Ian, and a daughter, Lisa.〔 She performed social work, was subsequently a guidance counselor and teacher, and was chapter chairperson of the United Federation of Teachers.〔 She began collecting ancient art, and in the 1970s started to collect contemporary art, focusing on abstract expressionism.〔 Anita Shapolsky opened the gallery in 1982 on the second floor of 99 Spring Street in SoHo, in Manhattan.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anita Shapolsky Gallery and AS Art Foundation )〕 It was originally known as the Arbitrage Gallery, or alternatively the Arbitrage Art Gallery.〔 At the time, it housed a collection of American abstract art from the 1950s.〔 In 1984, she changed the name to the Anita Shapolsky Gallery, and moved to the larger first floor and lower level at 99 Spring Street.〔 By 1989, "Latin American Artist" and "Women Artist" exhibitions were also displayed.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Anita Shapolsky Gallery )〕 In 1997, the Anita Shapolsky Gallery moved to two floors in a brownstone townhouse at 152 East 65th Street in the Upper East Side of Manhattan.〔〔〔〔Holland Cotter (July 13, 2005).
