Frank Maresca (art dealer)

Frank Maresca (born 1948) is an American dealer of contemporary, self-taught, outsider and 20th-century art.

He met photo editor John Durniak and began his career as a photojournalist with Time magazine.

He worked for Time and Life for three years as a freelancer before returning to his studio to concentrate on fashion and beauty photography—working with clients such as Christian Dior, Almay, Revlon and Elizabeth Arden.

Ricco/Maresca has championed and showcased the art of self-taught masters working outside the art-historical mainstream.

Through the gallery, Maresca has established an international reputation for assisting important clients and museums in the acquisition of artworks and collection building, as well as exhibition design and lecturing on topics ranging from the art market to outsider, self-taught, and folk art.
