Harold Garde, Painter & Printmaker, American Expressionist (b.1923 d.1922)

Painter, printmaker, and innovator Harold Garde, who died last year just shy of his 100th birthday, is receiving a major reappraisal with the display of his works at SCOPE Miami Beach art show (through Orlando-based Mills Gallery, booth B19) from December 5 through 10. This showing precedes a major exhibition of never-before-seen artworks in two parts at the University of Wyoming Art Museum (February 24, 2024 through February 24, 2025). These events will bring fresh attention to this prolific and important American post-War artist.

Harold Garde was an influential American artist most often associated with his innovative "Strappo" printing technique who made many contributions to the world of contemporary art as an artist, innovator, instructor, and mentor for younger artists. Throughout a career spanning almost seven decades, Garde's work has been exhibited globally and is currently in many institutional collections, including those of The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Thomas J. Watson Library (New York), the Bibliothèque nationale de France (Paris), the Portland Museum of Art and the Farnsworth Museum (Maine), Fine Arts Museum of New Mexico (Santa Fe), the University of Wyoming Art Museum (Laramie) and the Orlando Museum of Art (Florida). His work is also part of the private collections of Sheryl Sandberg (former COO of Meta Platforms Inc., formerly known as Facebook) and former NBC News producer Thomas Bernthal; Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer; and independent curator Edward Robinson (formerly of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art).
