Biography:
Clara and Teddy Wolfard moved from Chicago to Rochester, NY, in 1940 and
established an art gallery, at that time the city’s only one, on
Spring Street in the old Third Ward. Teddy was Dutch and had studied art
in Europe. In 1954 The Wolfard’s Galleries of Fine Arts moved into a
former carriage house they renovated at Nine South Goodman Street. There
they created a beautiful haven of gardens, old world atmosphere and art.
Teddy and Clara made periodic trips to Europe, Scandinavia and Mexico to
acquire paintings and artwork directly from artists to sell in their
store. The Wolfards retired and closed their shop in 1980.
