Designed in the fashion of an Early 20th Century European salon, this destination shop features original Modern Era art (1900-1960s) presented in an eclectic residential setting (think Paris 1920s meets industrial urban loft). Lost Art Salon offers original paintings, drawings, fine art prints, fine art photographs, sculptures, ceramics and art glass all at affordable prices (paintings typically $250 - $650). The library of over 3,000 original vintage and antique pieces carries examples from each of the major art movements of the 20th Century, from Post Impressionism to Pop Art. Owners, Rob Delamater and Gaétan Caron first opened their hidden gem in July of 2005.
Lost Art Salon has built a reputation over the last four years as an extensive resource to the design community for original Modern Era art (1900-1960s). Designers, decorators and stylists utilize the Salon for sourcing affordable original works with distinctive period flair. The Salon also keeps open hours for the public from Tuesday through Saturday.
Lost Art Salon places a particular emphasis on recently uncovered works by known artists (i.e. Edmond Franklin Ward, John Whitworth Robson and Clyde Follet Seavey), and the portfolios of newly discovered period artists (i.e. Celia B. Michelena and Peter Witwer). Collectors, Rob Delamater and Gaétan Caron, search out one-of-a-kind pieces that exhibit strong period style (Mid-Century, Art Deco, Arts & Crafts, Early California plein-aire) and remarkable uniqueness. Every piece is researched and set into a carefully selected, era-appropriate frame using archival materials. Pieces are discovered through private collections, auctions, art dealers and antique fairs.
New shows are debuted every three months, showcasing the works and compelling stories behind each artist. By focusing on newly discovered collections from the Modern Era, the Salon is challenging the typical gallery practice of exclusively promoting well-known names at prices only a few can afford.
Located on the penthouse level of the industrial Post Tool Arts Building at the Corner of South Van Ness and 13th/Division, their permanent three-story space holds more than 1,500 pieces throughout it’s 1,500 square feet.
