| history |
Art gallery; Boston, Mass. Founded 1841 in Providence, R.I. by Ransom Hicks, and purchased by Joseph Vose in 1841. In 1850, his son Seth Morton Vose joined the firm, and in 1855 became director. Primary business until late 1860s was frame making, gilding and art supplies. Began regularly exhibiting in Boston in 1882. Seth's son Robert C. Vose joined in 1896, and managed the Boston gallery from 1897. After Seth's death in 1910, the Providence gallery closed, and Robert and his brother Nathaniel ran the gallery, along with their nephew W. Charles Thompson, under the name R.C. & N.M. Vose. In 1924, the name changed to Robert C. Vose Galleries, and around the same time the Gallery took over the Carrig-Rohane framing company. In 1931-1932, Robert's sons, Robert C. Vose, J., S. Morton Vose II, and Herbert Vose, joined the firm. The name was changed to Vose Galleries of Boston, Inc., 1952. |
