Blumka Gallery For four generations Blumka Gallery has specialized in Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque works of art. The family business began in Vienna in the late 19th century. Leopold Blumka, father of the current owner, Anthony Blumka, moved the gallery to New York in 1939. Blumka Gallery was formerly at 115 East 57th Street, 125 East 81st Street, 949 and 101 Park Avenue, 23 East 67st and since 1997 has been housed in a classical townhouse at 209 East 72nd Street.

Ivory, enamel, ceramics, metalwork and sculpture in stone, wood and terracotta are the current focus of the Gallery's collection. Over the years through sales and donations Blumka Gallery has played a role in enhancing both private and museum collections across the globe. The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Treasury at the Cloisters in New York, the Bavarian National Museum and the Louvre are merely a sampling of museums that have acquired important pieces from Blumka Gallery.

Blumka Gallery is located at 209 East 72nd Street (between Second and Third Avenues). The Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m or by appointment.
