Yares Art is a modern and contemporary art gallery with locations in New York, Santa Fe, and Beverly Hills. Its New York space is located at 745 Fifth Avenue, 4th Floor, above the Midtown / 57th Street art corridor. The gallery specializes in Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting, especially works from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s.

The gallery’s history goes back to 1964, when it was founded in Scottsdale, Arizona by Riva Yares. The New York venue opened in 2016, expanding the gallery’s presence with a large Fifth Avenue exhibition space.

At Yares Art New York, expect exhibitions where color is not decoration — it is the main event. This is a gallery for slow looking: paintings that seem simple at first, then become fields of light, rhythm, tension, and emotion.

You may encounter:

• Abstract Expressionism
• Color Field painting
• Large-scale modern and contemporary works
• Artists such as Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland, Larry Poons, Jules Olitski, Hans Hofmann, Frank Stella and others connected to the gallery’s program
• A polished, quiet, high-level gallery experience in Midtown Manhattan

The best way to enjoy it is to visit calmly, ideally as part of a Midtown art route around Fifth Avenue and 57th Street. Don’t rush from painting to painting. Stand back first, then move closer. With Color Field works, distance changes everything.

Yes — especially if you love modern American painting or want a more focused alternative to the big New York museums.

What makes Yares Art New York special is its deep commitment to abstraction and Color Field art. In a city full of noise, spectacle, and endless visual stimulation, this gallery offers something rarer: concentration.

For Artlovers, it is worth including because it shows New York’s art power at a more intimate scale. Not a museum crowd, not a tourist checklist — just color, space, history, and the quiet shock of seeing painting breathe.
