The official ribbon cutting for Christie’s International Real Estate Group’s Wright Group Art Gallery— in the 1920’s Hall Building located in the heart of historic Montclair, New Jersey, at 46 Church Street— was held March 11th. Gallery owners Curtis and Erica Wright, both award-winning brokers with the esteemed Christie’s brokerage firm, selected internationally recognized contemporary artist John Ransom Philips for the inaugural exhibition. This is the global premiere of Phillips’ series, “Born to Remember,” which was inspired by New Jersey icon Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography “Born to Run.” A portion of art proceeds will benefit the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music in West Long Branch, New Jersey.
The Wrights’ mission is to bridge the worlds of fine art and luxury real estate in this renovated space. Not only brokers, but selected brand ambassadors for Christie’s, the Wrights are liaisons to the legendary auction house and work seamlessly with clients on both their real estate portfolios and personal collections. The collegiate Gothic-style Hall Building is exclusively represented by The Wright Group, with the gallery on the street level. The Wrights partnered with premier designer Rachael H. Grochowski of RHG Architecture + Design to create a space that provides an elevated atmosphere for both the fine art gallery and their luxury real estate services.
The well attended event drew Montclair Mayor Dr. Renee Baskerville, Christie’s International Real Estate Group’s Executive Vice President Sonja Cullaro and Executive Director of the Montclair Center Business Improvement District, Jason Gleason.
Wright Group Gallery is by appointment Monday- Friday (weekends upon request). For more information on the gallery and exhibitions, please visit WrightGroupGallery.com.
