As gallerists and dealers since 1980, principals Robert and Cynthia Cage McClain have focused on the exhibition and the acquisition of museum quality, collectible contemporary and 20th century art.
 

Based in Houston, the gallery maintains an internationalist point of view, exhibiting the works of New York, European, Asian and Texas artists; in a full range of media including painting, sculpture, works on paper, photography and conceptual installations.
 

Our pluralistic program represents major figures such as Julian Schnabel, Peter Halley, Donald Baechler, and Louise Nevelson, while continuing to commit to younger generations of artists, which includes primary representation of many Texas based artists – The Art Guys, William Betts, Aaron Parazette, Christian Eckart and duo Jeff Shore and Jon Fisher. The gallery's program focuses on one-person exhibitions supplemented by survey and thematic group shows that investigate current themes in contemporary art.
 

Most recently the gallery has mounted solo exhbitions for Peter Halley, Julian Schnabel, George Segal, Donald Beachler, The Art Guys, and Norman Bluhm; McClain Gallery also organized a year-long public exhibitions of Bernar Venet's sculptures in Hermann Park, Houston (2010-2011) - the first of its kind and scale in Houston.  We present artists and exhibitions that initiate community dialog about art and its relationship to the social, cultural and political landscape of our culture.

In addition to the promotion of the work of our stable of artists, we actively advise and help private individuals, corporations, and institutions in acquiring a specific work or organizing a comprehensive program of collecting.  Educating both the new collector, as well as the sophisticated collector, is a vital part of our gallery program.
