INGER JOHANNE GRYTTING
Born in the small town of Svolvær, Lofoten Islands in northern Norway, Inger Johanne Grytting took her first art classes from local artists as a teenager and began painting in oil at 15 years old.
In 1972, Grytting moved to the Bowery in New York City, where she studied art at City College of New York. Her friend and mentor Jan Groth (1938-2022) introduced her to the New York art scene. Grytting befriended many American artists, such as Alfred Leslie, Albert Maysles, Red Grooms, Mimi Gross, Tod Papageorge, Mariana Cook, Helen Wilson, and Chaim Gross, and explored many New York art galleries and museums on weekends, all of which she credits as her greatest teachers. Shortly thereafter, Chaim Gross brought her to The New School as an assistant in his sculpture class, and later as an assistant at the Educational Alliance.
In addition to her art practice, Grytting was the art director of Fiction Magazine for over forty years, where she connected international writers and visual artists.
Inger Johanne Grytting’s artwork is exhibited nationally and internationally, and collected by museums and private collections. Selected museum exhibitions include The Vigeland Museum (Oslo, Norway), and Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum (Tromsø, Norway). Her artworks are in the collection of The National Museum of Art (Oslo, Norway), Stavanger Kunstmuseum (Stavanger, Norway), Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum (Tromsø, Norway), KODE (Bergen, Norway), and others.

CHARLES HINMAN
Charles Hinman (b. 1932) is a New York Minimal painter who pioneered three-dimensional shaped canvas paintings through his innovative use of shadow, light, and shape with complex mathematical formulae. Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, Hinman holds his BFA from Syracuse University and taught at the Arts Student League of New York. In 1965, he joined the growing community of artists on the Bowery and moved into his studio and living space at 231A Bowery in the same building with artists Will Insley, David Diao, Tom Wesselmann, and Max Gimblett, where Hinman resided for over fifty years.
Hinman’s work has been included in era-defining exhibitions alongside many of his Minimalist and Conceptual contemporaries. His art career began with a seminal group exhibition at Sidney Janis Gallery, and thereafter his first solo exhibition at Richard Feigen Gallery in 1964.
Charles Hinman’s artwork is exhibited internationally and collected by major institutions and private collectors across the world. His work is included in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Denver Art Museum, the Nagaoka Museum in Japan, and the Tel Aviv Museum in Israel, among others. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and four Pollock-Krasner Foundation grants. His most recent retrospective was in 2019 at the Kreeger Museum, Washington DC.

WILL INSLEY
Will Insley (1929-2011) was an American abstract artist who dedicated 50 years to creating paintings, drawings, writing, models and photomontages based on his investigation of a theoretical civilization and focus on its single metropolis, ONECITY, a labyrinthine structure buried in the central North American plains. Born in Indianapolis, Indiana and a lifelong resident of New York City, Insley received his BFA in Architecture from Amherst College and his MFA in Architecture from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. Over his lifetime, Insley never utilized his architecture degree in the construction of functional buildings, and instead devoted his pursuit of art through abstract formalities and structural principles. The detailed process of thinking, writing, drawing, and visually communicating his concepts, provided a way for him to challenge the role of the artist during the Minimalist, Conceptual, and Earth Art movements of the 20th century.
Will Insley has been the subject of numerous museum exhibitions in the United States and Europe, including a solo exhibition at Guggenheim Museum (1984) and Museum of Modern Art in New York City (1971), as well as inclusion in Documenta 5 (1972) and Documenta 6 (1977).
Will Insley’s artwork is collected by major institutions and private collectors across the world. His work is reflected in the collection of Brooklyn Museum of Art, Smithsonian Museum, Museum of Modern Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, North Carolina Museum of Art, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden and many others. The Estate of Will Insley is owned, represented, and managed exclusively by Westwood Gallery NYC.

JAMES JUTHSTROM
James Juthstrom (1925-2007) was an American artist who lived and worked in his Broome Street loft in SoHo for 50 years creating paintings, drawings, etchings, and sculpture ranging from abstract to figurative.
His artwork was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum (1955-56), Whitney Museum of American Art (1956), Detroit Institute of Arts (1957), Gallery G (1957), and Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts (1961-63) among others.
Although he had opportunities for gallery representation, he withdrew from the art world and created work in the privacy of his loft. Westwood Gallery continues to promote the legacy of James Juthstrom, and maintains the ownership and archive of his estate.

DON PORCARO
Don Porcaro (b. 1950) is a New York-based artist whose sculptures explore the nature of human interaction with the physical world. With an emphasis on totemic iconography, his constructions focus on the layering of intricately carved stones to create forms at the intersection of figuration and architecture.
Porcaro holds his BFA from Farleigh Dickenson University (Madison, NJ) and his MFA in sculpture from Columbia University (New York, NY). Shortly after his graduation, Porcaro joined the faculty of Parsons School of Design, where he taught for over 43 years (1975 to 2017), and where he is now Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts.
Don Porcaro’s artwork has been exhibited internationally and nationally in New York, California, Massachusetts, Mexico, Switzerland, France, Germany, South Korea, and Japan. His work is collected by museums and private collections, including the National Academy of Design (NYC), the D’Amour Museum of Fine Arts (Springfield, MA), the Progressive Corporation (Cleveland, OH), Emory University (Atlanta, GA), Forma Viva Sculpture Collection (Portorož, Slovenia), and others. His work has been reviewed in The New York Times, Sculpture Magazine, Art in America, Artnews, and BOMB Magazine, among others. Porcaro is a recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant, New York Foundation for the Arts/New York State Council on the Arts grant, and a Teaching Excellence Award from Parsons School of Design. He is also a member of the Abstract American Artists Association and the National Academy of Design. Don Porcaro is exclusively represented by Westwood Gallery NYC.
