San Francisco Gallerist Paule Anglim Remembered for Decades of Cultural Influence

Paule Anglim, a prominent gallerist from San Francisco who passed away last week in her 90s, profoundly influenced the Bay Area's art landscape through her 14 Geary Street gallery for 32 years. She began her career in North Beach during the 1970s, presenting works by artists such as Bruce Connor, Joan Brown, and Jess, and later featuring conceptual talents like Paul Kos and James Melchert. Additionally, she represented New York artists, including Robert Bechtle and Louise Fishman. John Zurier remembers her vibrant personality and ties to older artists, while Annabeth Rosen emphasizes her dedication to fostering dialogue among artists. Her passing resonates deeply as San Francisco galleries confront financial hardships and displacement.
