We strive to be extremely professional,

dating, provenance, and proper period
framing.
Our goal is to offer
the finest quality 19th and early 20th
century American and European art to

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."
