Geoffrey Diner grew up in Buffalo, New York, where leaders of the American Arts & Crafts Movement’s work was revered and endless living examples were available for inspiration. Early on, Geoffrey pursued his interest in the Arts & Crafts contemporaries of California, from Greene + Greene’s Japanese-inspired masterpieces in Pasadena to Dutch American artisan Dirk van Erp and other extraordinary contemporaries.
In the early 1980s, Geoffrey helped to propel praise and recognition of the finest examples from the American and British Arts & Crafts Movement, assisting museums and collectors. The gallery, led by Geoffrey and Maureen Diner since 1988, traverses genres and masterworks of the 20th and 21st centuries. Today, Geoffrey Diner Gallery’s status as a preeminent source of post-war art and design is borne of its founders initial motivations and nearly 40 years of experience in the art and design market.
