\n\nJessica Silverman founded her gallery in 2008, after completing a BFA in Studio Art at Otis College in Los Angeles and an MA in Curatorial Practice at the California College of the Arts, San Francisco. Introduced to art by her late grandfather, Gilbert Silverman who, with his wife Lila, was the leading collector of Fluxus in America, Jessica’s nose for meaningful content and an eye for formal innovation developed early. \n\nThe Gallery has participated in many adjudicated art fairs. Last year, its annual calendar was punctuated by FIAC Paris, Art Basel Miami Beach, San Francisco’s Fog Design+Art and New York’s ADAA Art Show. Silverman is on the Selection Committee of Expo Chicago and a member of the Art Dealers Association of America.\n\nWorks by the gallery’s artists have been acquired by museums all over the world including Tate (London), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Reina Sofia (Madrid), MoMA (New York), MCA Chicago, Art Institute of Chicago, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Nasher Sculpture Center, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, not to mention SF MOMA, Berkeley Art Museum, and the De Young. \n\nFor nine years, Silverman sat on the San\u2028Francisco Arts Commission where she oversaw the acquisition and commission of art works for sites like SFO Airport. Since then, she has advised property developers, such as the Mark Company, Troon Pacific and Related Companies.\n\nFor an account of Silverman’s art pedigree, see: “Jessica Silverman’s Secret to 10 Years of Success as a Gallerist?
