The gallery loves to educate our clients as well as collectors new to American and European art. We welcome all inquiries.  We strive to be extremely professional, and we have years of experience assisting private collectors with important acquisitions. It is a great personal pleasure for us to share our knowledge with regard to what creates value in the current market. We are happy to discuss and compare paintings in order to assist you in ascertaining rarity, quality, condition, composition, dating, provenance, and proper period framing. 

Our goal is to offer the finest quality 19th and early 20th century American and European art to private and corporate collectors, individual collectors and dealers. Our extensive inventory regularly features landscapes in the Hudson River School and luminist styles, as well as still-life, portraits, genre, and marine subjects. Our collections also incorporate Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, the fine folk art, and early modernism.
 

 

Antique Fine Art On New Castle Street
Jackie Wolf Heinl

 Photo and story by David Hughes
Excerpt from the New Wilmington Globe Newspaper

    The sign in the front yard says simply "Wolf's Fine Arts." Inside, the walls are adorned with paintings of the 19th Century American and European artists, ranging from formal portraits to landscapes to whimsical paintings of playful kittens.
Jackie Heinl grew up on Long Island. She attended her first auction at age 12 with her grandmother. She bought her first painting while still in high school. She continued acquiring art through her college years, as an undergraduate at Cornell and later in graduate school at Carnegie Mellon University.  As her collection grew, she learned a great deal about art through study, research and experience, which included, she says, a good deal of trial and error.
     Like her art purchases, her business is a work in progress. Almost every acquisition requires some degree of cleaning and/or restoration.  Her business, also, is constantly tweaked to the needs and desires of her clients and to changing social trends and economic climates.
While many of her clients buy artwork to decorate their homes, just as many are serious collectors of a particular painter, style, or regional body of work. . Some collectors, Heinl adds, are again buying art as an investment. Stung by wild stock market swings in recent years, a growing number of buyers are now investing in paintings that may well appreciate over time.
    Regardless of her clients' motivation, Jackie Heinl devotes a great deal of time and effort to ensure that the beauty of the artwork she sells is more than just "in the eye of the beholder."
 

A 19th century portrait is among Jackie Heinl's fine art collection.
