Where Paul Feeley's Work Lives Online

No single site holds everything Feeley made. Three kinds of archive together come closest, and knowing which does what saves an afternoon of dead ends.

The short answer

There is no complete online catalogue of Paul Feeley's work. The fullest starting points are the Garth Greenan Gallery's artist page, which represents the Feeley estate, museum collection databases such as the Albright-Knox and Smithsonian, and the Archives of American Art, which holds his papers. Expect dozens of works online, not hundreds.

Start with the estate gallery

Paul Feeley, who taught at Bennington College from the 1930s until his death in 1966, is best served online by the gallery that represents his estate. Garth Greenan Gallery in New York maintains a Feeley page with a representative selection of paintings and works on paper, along with biographical notes and exhibition history. It is the closest thing to an authoritative single source.

The selection is selected rather than exhaustive. You will see the curvaceous, hard-edged forms of his mature Color Field period, and you will not see everything else. Treat it as the spine of your search, then branch outward. A related question worth settling early is what Feeley actually painted across his career, which our guide to his common subjects covers in plain terms.

Museum databases fill the gaps

No gallery page can show work held in public collections. For that, museum databases are the practical answer. The Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo mounted a major Feeley retrospective in 2014 and holds his work, and institutions including the Smithsonian American Art Museum list him in their online collections. Search each database by name and expect uneven results.

Some records will show only a title and dimensions. Others include full photography. This patchiness is normal for a mid-century American painter whose market has been quieter than his peers. Where to browse Feeley's complete body of work, then, is really a question of stacking three or four sources and accepting the seams. If the goal is a wall rather than an archive, choosing between canvas and framed editions is a more practical next step.

Papers, catalogs and printed records

The Archives of American Art, part of the Smithsonian Institution, holds the papers of Paul Feeley, including correspondence and material related to his teaching and exhibitions. These are digitized in part and viewable online. They rarely show the paintings well, but they document the career in a way no image database can.

Exhibition catalogues from the 1960s and from the 2014 retrospective surface on used book sites and in library scans. For a painter of Feeley's standing, print remains where the fullest reproduction record lives. Auvrique does not currently carry Feeley editions; its own archive of available works covers other painters, from coastal scenes like The Rock in the Sea as a framed poster to Santa Fe Adobes in a framed edition.

For a painter this good, the internet is surprisingly thin. The paper record is where the depth sits.

The Smithsonian's Archives of American Art holds Feeley's papers, digitized in part.

Related questions

Is there a catalogue raisonné for Paul Feeley?

No published catalogue raisonné is widely available as of now. The 2014 Albright-Knox retrospective catalogue is the closest thing to a comprehensive printed survey, and the Garth Greenan Gallery remains the best point of contact for questions about specific works.

Can I see Feeley's work in person?

Yes, in rotations rather than permanent displays. The Albright-Knox in Buffalo holds his work, and other American museums list him in their collections. Check each institution's online collection or current exhibition schedule before planning a visit.

Why is so little of his work online compared with his peers?

Feeley died in 1966 at fifty-five, and his market has stayed quieter than that of contemporaries with longer careers. Fewer sales mean fewer high-quality images circulating. The estate's gallery page and museum records together cover most of what is publicly documented.
