Discover fine prints and artworks that bridge local vision

Our Vision of Good Art

Art is found everywhere. Good art is harder to find. We believe truly exceptional art must meet three fundamental requirements.

Context

Art connected to its history and meaning. Great artists understand their place in the ongoing conversation of artistic expression.

Technical Mastery

Great art begins with mastery of craft. Artists who lack technical prowess may create compelling works, but true excellence requires command of one medium.

Originality

A new voice, a fresh way of seeing. The artist must be creating—not replicating. True originality distinguishes the artist from the craftsman.

Our Story

Washington Color Gallery began in 2017 to showcase clients of founder Micah Salb, and has grown into a hub for DC-area artists and international printmakers.

What started as a platform to highlight exceptional local talent has evolved into a bridge connecting Washingtons rich artistic heritage with collectors around the world.

Our gallery celebrates the intersection of technical mastery, creative vision, and historical significance that defines truly exceptional art.

hang on your wall.”

The Role of Value in Shopping for Art

Value in art doesn’t mean cheap—it means enduring worth. While art prices fluctuate wildly, certain works maintain their significance over time.

Artists with long-standing reputations, whose works remain active in secondary markets, often represent the most reliable value propositions for discerning collectors.

We believe there’s enough extraordinary art in the world that collectors need not disregard value when building meaningful collections.

Meet the Founder

Micah Salb is an attorney whose practice includes the representation of artists, galleries, and collectors. His unique position at the intersection of law and art provides him with deep insights into the art world’s complexities.

As both an advocate for artists and a champion of collectors’ rights, Micah founded Washington Color Gallery to create a platform where exceptional art could find its rightful audience.

His legal expertise, combined with a genuine passion for artistic excellence, guides the gallery’s commitment to presenting work that meets the highest standards of technical skill, originality, and cultural significance.
