Operating by appointment only for nearly a decade, Ruiz-Healy Art opened its first public space in October 2013 within a renovated 1920s-era Spanish Art Deco building at 201-A East Olmos Dr. The gallery was expanded in march with the addition of a public gallery space.
To inaugurate the new space, Ruiz-Healy presented “Straight from Berlin: Paintings and Works on Paper by Uwe Kowski and Jörg Herold.” That exhibition – a partnership with one of Berlin’s most prestigious galleries – signaled a new collaborative spirit at Ruiz-Healy Art.
“Collaboration has been the theme for our 2014 exhibition programming,” said Coates. “In March we partnered with Galerie EIGEN+ Art to bring Uwe Kowski and Jörg Herold, acclaimed members of the New Leipzig School, to our San Antonio gallery space. In May, we were pleased to work alongside the Southwest School of Art to present a two-part exhibition of Argentine ceramicist Nicolás Leiva, and currently, we are aligned with the prestigious photography gallery Blanca Berlin Galeria in Madrid, Spain.”
