About Santa Fe

Pippin Contemporary abstract fine art gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, located at the entrance to Canyon Road, offers a sensory experience of color and mood. Pippin’s artists present a range of personal perspectives emerging from a passion for depth, feeling, and beauty in art. This richly sensuous visual experience is expressed in painting, glass, and kinetic and stationary sculpture, and is complemented by a warm, engaging staff.

Pippin Contemporary, founded May 2011 by Aleta Pippin, is committed to showing artwork that is, at once, fresh and vibrant, as well as collectible. Words most often heard by guests who enter Pippin Contemporary are “I was drawn in by the amazing color” and “it feels so good in here.” These feelings are standard, hard to put one’s finger on, yet a common thread weaving throughout our guests/collectors experience.

Pippin Contemporary’s artists, selected for their energetic and tactile expressions, celebrate life with colorful and authentic insights, expanding the realm of possibilities in their artwork. Their expressions range from abstraction to glass sculpture, kinetic sculpture, colorful steel and bronze pieces – all exhibiting the passion our artists feel about their artwork. How that passion translates creates an element of surprise, offering the viewer a venue through which to access their emotions, transporting themselves to their inner worlds.

Owned by an artist, we at Pippin Contemporary understand the importance of the artist, gallery, collector relationship. Collecting art is about that relationship as much as it is about the purchase. Oftentimes, our collectors become friends who make it a point to stop in whenever visiting Santa Fe.
