Her first tiny gallery in NYC was located on East 72nd Street\, exhibiting Modern and Contemporary art. After working with increasingly large pieces and publishing editions\, she moved to a space on 25th Street in Chelsea. \nIn 2011 she made the personal and professional move to Washington\, DC to share an exhibition space with her husband\, gallery owner Robert Brown. \nNeptune Fine Art has collaborated with established artists including Jennifer Bartlett\, Vija Celmins\, Wolf Kahn\, James Siena\, Adam Pendleton\, Mickalene Thomas\, and Jenny Holzer as well as many artists in the District of Columbia/Maryland\, Virginia region. Neptune Fine Art has placed editions in The National Gallery of Art\, Washington\, DC; The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, The Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; The Baltimore Museum of Art; The Philadelphia Museum of Art; Cincinnati Art Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and more. \nChristine also works with private collectors to handle discreet and confidential acquisitions and sales for clients worldwide. She regularly meets with clients in her gallery in Washington\, D.C. and by appointment in New York City. She has been an ArtTable member since 2000! \nAbout the exhibition\n\ngallery neptune and brown is delighted to present its second exhibition with Frank Stewart. During the past two years\, when it wasn’t possible to travel and take photographs\, Stewart combed through his archives. The resulting exhibition is a varied collection of photographs spanning the last thirty years. Many of the photos have never before been on view. Stewart’s work centers around communities in Africa and its diaspora in the United States and in Cuba\, starting in the 1970s. In the same period\, he began photographing jazz clubs and their musicians. For more about the exhibition\, visit gallery neptune and brown’s website. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nThank you to Shelley Langdale\, Programs Co-Chair of ArtTable’s Washington DC Chapter\, for organizing this program. \n\nImages: \n\nChristine Neptune\nThree Young Camels\, Timbuktu\, Mali\, 2006\nOnly God to Watch My Back\, NY\, 1988

She formerly served as Associate Dean for the Division of Fine Arts\, Director of the Howard University Gallery of Art\, and Chairperson of the Department of Art. Everett received her Ph.D. from George Mason University\, Fairfax\, Virginia\, MA in Art History from Howard\, and a BA from Spelman College\, where she majored in Studio Art. She is currently co-organizing a symposium\, “Alma W. Thomas and David Driskell: Journeys in Art\,” with the Howard University Department of Art and the Phillips Collection to coincide with Alma Thomas and David Driskell exhibitions on view at the Phillips\, November 13\, 2021. \nArtTable member Renee Maurer is Associate Curator\, The Phillips Collection\, and coordinating curator for the Phillips’s presentation of the Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful exhibition. Other exhibitions she has coordinated include Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition\, guest curated by Adrienne Childs in 2020; A Modern Vision: European Paintings from The Phillips Collection and its tour (2017–2020); Toulouse-Lautrec Illustrates the Belle Époque (2017); Gauguin to Picasso: Masterworks from Switzerland (2016); American Moments: Photographs from The Phillips Collection (2015); Georges Braque and the Cubist Still Life: 1928–1945 (2013); and Jasper Johns: Variations on a Theme (2012). Prior to working at the Phillips\, she was a research assistant at the National Gallery of Art. She received her BA from Dickinson College and her MA from George Washington University. \nAbout the exhibition\nAlma W. Thomas: Everything Is Beautiful provides a fresh perspective on the artist’s dynamic long life (1891-1978) and multifaceted career that was defined by constant creativity. This major retrospective traces her journey from semi-rural Georgia to Washington\, DC\, to become the first Black woman given a solo show at the Whitney Museum of American Art at age 80. Through artworks and archival materials\, this exhibition demonstrates how Thomas’s wide-reaching artistic practices extended far beyond her studio. It helped shape every facet of her life—from community service to teaching to gardening. \nEverything Is Beautiful contextualizes Thomas’s art and life within her creative community\, delving into her association with Howard University\, American University\, and the Barnett Aden Gallery\, which she helped co-found. Some of her works are placed alongside examples by her friends and contemporaries\, such as Loïs Mailou Jones and Morris Louis\, who also helped shape the DC art scene. The exhibition offers an intimate look at this inspiring cultural icon who used her imagination and ingenuity to lead a rich and beautiful life. \nClick here to read more about the exhibition. \n  \nThank you to Renee Maurer\, Associate Curator\, and Erica Harper\, Educator\, The Phillips Collection.\n \n\nImages: \n\nAlma Thomas\, Pansies for Washington\, 1969\, acrylic on canvas\, National Gallery of Art\, Corcoran Collection (Gift of Vincent Melzac)\nDr. Gwendolyn Everett\nRenee Maurer\nIda Jervis\, Alma Thomas at Home\, 1968\, gelatin silver print.
