Lucille’s father, Sidney Lucas, emigrated to New York City from Paris in the 1920’s with an ambitious goal to make a wide variety of quality art available to people at all income levels. With this in mind, he founded “The Paris Etching Society” and during his career, published over nine million etchings, lithographs, serigraphs, woodblock prints and reproductions. The various subjects included Redoute and Prevost flowers, Barraband and Gould birds, Piranesi, french landscapes, urban scenes, women, children, animals, hunting and much more.
In 1965, Mr. Lucas became the first North American publisher of original signed limited edition lithographs by Salvador Dali.
In the early 1970’s Lucille moved west after falling in love with the wide-open skies and beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Settling in the ski town of Crested Butte, Colorado, she carried on the family tradition and opened an art gallery. Since moving to its present location in 2000 the scope of the gallery has expanded to feature works of local and regional artists, photography, sculpture, and hundreds of reproductions and posters specializing in vintage ski and bicycle images.
