About Us
Established in 1990, the James Cox Gallery at Woodstock is the culmination of twenty-five years of professional experience in the field of American Art. The owners have a long history of accomplishment dating from 1972 when The Cox Gallery first opened in Allentown, New Jersey. In 1976 James Cox moved to New York City and assumed the position of director of the venerable Grand Central Art Galleries, a position he held until December 1989.
His wife Mary Anna Goetz is an accomplished landscape painter and well-known teacher. Seeking and idyllic rural environment while maintaining cultural ties to Manhattan, the Cox’s have established a compound in the historic art colony of Woodstock, New York. On a six-acre site, visitors are able to enjoy outdoor sculpture gardens, the Goetz studio and modern gallery facilities all surrounded by the famous Little Beaverkill Creek (renowned for trout fishing).
The gallery’s focus is on twentieth century American Art. The extensive inventory includes works from the estates of five American painters and sculptors all of whom are exclusively represented by James Cox. Additional selections of historic American art are always available and change weekly.
The gallery is perhaps the only full-service art gallery in the Hudson Valley and, as such, offers extensive services including appraisal, restoration, estate management, auction, research and consultancy in virtually any area of American art.
