Testimonials by Former and Current Artist-Clients
“Duke Ellington was once asked how he managed to always be growing in his legendary musical career. He replied, “every time a phase in my career seemed to come to a halt and I was at a crossroad and didn’t know where I should go, someone would come into my life and point me in the right direction and everything turned out just right.”
Katharine T. Carter has always been that person for me.
Time and time again.
Museum show after museum show. Gallery show after gallery show.
In the cloistered world of Fine Art, Katharine is part high priestess, part Obi-Wan Kenobi, part genteel Southern lady and part New York tough gal.
She walks in rarified places in the Art World and the artists that are lucky enough to be associated with her, walk with her. What more could you ask for?

For taking me under your professional wing…Thank you.”

“I engaged Katharine T. Carter & Associates to represent me in securing museum exhibitions in the United States. Although I was a new artist without exhibiting experience, Katharine and her associates were able to secure many exhibitions in a very short period of time. This resulted in my having an almost continuous showing of my work around the country at different museums for 2+ years, together with corresponding reviews in local publications, including the Los Angeles Times. In addition to their advise and guidance, Katharine T. Carter & Associates assisted me in creating a brochure of my work, together with an essay from a prominent critic, which I was able to use to help in securing commercial gallery placement and representation in several cities, including New York and San Francisco. Katharine T. Carter & Associates apply a level of professionalism and integrity that excels in all their work with artists and art organizations.”

“Katharine T. Carter has been working on my behalf for 4 years during which time she has organized a touring exhibition of my work which has been booked at 9 museums throughout the country including New York City. As an artist I couldn't possibly have reached so many institutions all over the country or have known which ones would be receptive to my work. In addition to securing the exhibitions she has arranged for top writers to write catalogue essays and other materials. Katharine's expertise and determination has left me free to do my work, knowing that she will do hers.”
- Martin Weinstein, New York City – 9 exhibitions scheduled
“Make no mistake about it, Katharine IS Katharine T. Carter & Associates. Her enthusiasm, expertise and understanding of the art world provide her clients with the wealth of twenty years experience. She has accumulated a list of associates whose reputations and expertise are truly impressive. Before I signed with Katharine, I called some of her clients trying to get a sense of the woman I would be dealing with. Each artist had a unique take on the company and the woman, however there was one word universally used when describing the woman herself, that word was ETHICAL, which was enough for me.”

“As a full time digital studio artist, I hardly have enough time to keep up with the advances in my field, the technical challenges of my computer driven technology and the development of my images. There was simply no time to concentrate on the all-important component of artistic success, which entailed researching and pursuing acceptable venues in which to show my work. Without the expertise of the Katharine T. Carter organization I would never have been able to secure one -person shows at the four outstanding museums and galleries that have been booked for me in 2005. The connections, vitality and expertise of this organization has enabled me to establish myself in the professional art community at a level that would have otherwise been impossible.”
– Ann Weiner, Connecticut – 5 exhibitions scheduled |
“The professionalism and integrity of Katherine T Carter and the team of Associates she has assembled to help artists is outstanding. Her team rapidly and creatively produced an exceptional promotional Catalog of my recent work, and then used that to secure 4 shows in my first year using her services. At every stage along the way, from Jonathan Goodman’s wonderful essay to Bill Mutters color corrections of my images, they have been helpful and insightful, and I am looking forward to many more years using her services.”
- Richard Bolingbroke, California – 5 exhibitions scheduled |
“The well organized, focused efforts of Katharine T. Carter and Associates has allowed me to reach out to many new communities where I have had the pleasure of sharing my paintings, sculpture, and films. I feel very lucky to have become aware of their services. I eagerly look forward to my upcoming exhibitions that they have arranged, including a New York sculpture exhibition, an institutional exhibition of my paintings and sculpture from the 90's, and a retrospective which will fill an entire small art center/museum and sculpture garden. I am grateful for these opportunities.”
