Vickery, Atkins & Torrey
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vickery, Atkins & Torry was an important art gallery in San Francisco, California, that helped introduce California to Impressionism.
In the 1890s, William Kingston Vickery, owner of the San Francisco art gallery, Vickery, Atkins & Torry, supervised a series of loan exhibitions and introduced Impressionism to California in the form of paintings by Monet, Eugene Boudin, Paul Cézanne, Camille Pissarro, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas. These pictures were lent by Californian impressionist, Lucy Bacon (who studied in France under Camille Pissarro and met Paul Cézanne), and Mrs. William H. Crocker, the leading California patron of French Impressionist art at the time.
