History
Hemingway African Gallery & Safaris is a second generation enterprise in its 46th year, headquartered in New York City. Founded in 1975 by friends Brian Gaisford and Gregory Hemingway, Hemingway African Gallery & Safaris has spent more than four decades bringing artwork from across Africa to new audiences. The art and travel venture is dedicated to educating and inspiring patrons by spreading awareness of African artists, art preservation, and wildlife conservation. Hemingway African Gallery's collection is ethically-sourced, mainly directly from artisans across the continent, and ranges from antique to decorative. The only way to ensure artwork is collected ethically is to personally purchase all art in Africa directly from artists, artisans and trusted dealers at a fair price. While the African art industry continues to buzz, this family-run NYC gallery has quietly become one of the largest importers of African art in the city.
