For over three decades, David Tunkl Fine Art has procured and sold distinct and eminent works by the most important artists of the 20th century, such as Francis Bacon, Pablo Picasso, Roy Lichtenstein, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. David Tunkl Fine Art offers it's clients a wealth of knowledge and experience in art collecting and navigating the rapidly evolving contemporary art market. David Tunkl’s passion for the artwork he sells, and the clients he represents, has led him to acquire and place some of the most indelible art works of the 20th century. David’s earliest days in the art business centered around placing classified advertisements in the L.A. Times, selling limited edition prints by Dali, Chagall and Picasso. His clients consisted of doctors, lawyers, and a myriad of young professionals, decorating their offices, and in some cases, their first homes. During these early days, forging a career in selling art, David attended UCLA and received a degree in Philosophy in 1977. As his knowledge of art history grew, and his passion for 20th century art erupted, it was a natural progression for him to leave the print world and start selling original paintings and sculpture. For the next seven years David lived in Europe and continued to hone his skills at acquiring and placing only the most indelible art works of the 20th century. David’s essential, and almost indigenous passion for such artists as Francis Bacon, Roy Lichtenstein, Alberto Giacometti and Max Beckmann, earned him an acute expertise in dealing with their work. Since then David has acquired a greater knowledge and dexterity in dealing with artists such as Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Arshile Gorky, Mark Rothko, Jackson Pollock,Joan Miró,Fernand Léger,Gerhard Richter,Jasper Johns,Jean Dubuffet,Robert Rauschenberg and Cy Twombly.
