WENNIGER
GALLERY is a warm and inviting gallery charmingly located on the waterfront of
Rockport, America's oldest art colony. Founded by Mary Ann and Mace Wenniger more then twenty years ago, The Wenniger Gallery
offers the most extensive and diverse collection of contemporary and vintage original
prints in the U.S.
On consignment from many printmakers, worldwide, primarily
academics, you will find an amazing collection of figurative and abstract subjects ranging
from California forest scenes to Chinese scrolls.
The Wenniger collection includes water colors, large and small aquatints
and etchings, decorative silkscreens and lithographs, historic white line woodcuts, wood
engravings and drypoints, evocative collagraphs by one of your hosts Mary Ann Wenniger, a
rare amount of richly colored mezzotints from Japan, Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia,
Poland and the U.S.A. monoprints and handmade papers, and your other host's Mace
Wenniger's expressive and sensitive paintings of the figure.
Hand crafted objects,
made in New England by independentartisans, are now part of Rockport's Wenniger Gallery.
Birdhouses made in Maine from drift wood; Blown glass and porcelain vases; calico
aprons and duffles; hand stitched quilts; hand pointed country style wooden vessels; hand
woven caftan hand towels; hand made original decorative frames for photographs; a wide
assortment of slab and thrown tea pots; glass and iron sculptures; unique original
calderesque hand painted large mobiles made by a jazz musician; art furniture; creative
clocks; glass roots' hanging jars. The collection varies seasonally.
Clients travel to Rockport especially to see what the
Wennigers have found for them. Since the world of print galleries is small, you are
welcome to ask the Wennigers to find a special print for you. As art finders the Wennigers
are gifted.
The Wenniger's have also assembled a special collection of
prints for children's rooms over the years.
Monthly exhibitions by Internationally recognized
print-makers are mounted in the gallery.

center of your life - the fulcrum of your home - treasures and finds. Call (978) 546-8116,
