      The Gallery on Greene, established in 1996, has been located in the Historic District’s Seaport area of Key West. The common denominator has been the "spirit" or artistic integrity of the work, a highly accomplished technique, and outstanding value. Frank strongly believes that a dealer in contemporary art has a great responsibility to help people learn how to look at art and to feel what it’s about as well as understanding it’s financial value.

      As an art dealer, Nance Frank has had a multi-faceted career: operating a public gallery; dealing privately; writing, publishing and/or distributing editions by such artists as Mario Sanchez, and Jeff MacNelly, and participating in numerous national and international advertorials. Nance worked on the curatorial side of the Basler Volkerkunde Museum in Basel, Switzerland and the ethnological museum in Puerto Toro, Chile. She was founding chair of the Monroe Council for the Arts, Florida Keys & Key West Gallery Association, and on the founding board of The Florida Keys Community Foundation, and is the current Chair of Monroe County’s Public Art Board.

      In a past career she led the first team of women in the Newport-Bermuda Race, and first American women’s team in the Whitbread Round the World Race.

The style pendulum swung away from overly furnished and cluttered interiors some time ago. The immediate reaction was one of clinical simplicity. We are now experiencing a hugely exciting period where key pieces of fine art or antiques are used to a stunning effect within contemporary interiors. This juxtaposition makes for an emerging sophisticated style, next to no other.

Here we can appreciate the best of both worlds.

With the growing sophistication of the general public, people are looking more into expressing themselves at home than ever before. Comfort, style, quality, beauty, technology and investment are all keywords mentioned when furnishing and decorating a new home.

The Gallery on Greene is ideally positioned to advise on the acquisition of such integral items to enhance your living space and daily lives.

Our expert services are perfectly suited to those clients building a collection.

Collections normally evolve, in that they are augmented as opportunities arise while lesser items are occasionally sold to fund the acquisition of better items. Our reputation ensures that we hear of important, collectable pieces for sale long before they reach the open market.
