Miller Yezerski Gallery is one of the most highly respected contemporary art galleries in Boston, MA with decades of experience in the art market. The gallery is located in a premier space in the SoWA section of the South End and is the joint venture of longtime gallerists Ellen Miller and Howard Yezerski. Their combined stable of artists includes such notable figures as Laylah Ali, Rona Pondick, Lalla Essaydi and John O’Reilly whose photography, painting, sculpture, installations, and multimedia work have been widely exhibited including the Whitney Biennial, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, The Venice Biennale, MoMA, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
