San Antonio’s art market is small, but it’s expanding, becoming more varied and complex — and Patricia Ruiz-Healy is one of its leading dealers.
Gallery owner Patricia Ruiz-Healy at her new gallery in Manhattan, NY on May 2, 2019.
A native of Mexico, she owns the highly regarded Ruiz-Healy Art gallery, which she opened in 2013 in Olmos Park. However, she’d started representing artists and selling their work seven years earlier. She operated by appointment-only out of an empty, second home her family owned, also in Olmos Park.
On Friday, she took a huge, career-changing step: She opened a gallery on New York’s Upper East Side, which she said will give her artists a chance to show their pieces in one of the world’s premier art scenes.
