About Diehl Gallery

Diehl Gallery has been in Jackson Hole, Wyoming since 2001. It was a branch of Meyer Gallery, which opened in Park City in 1965. Founded by Darrell and Gerry Meyer, the Park City Meyer Gallery was later purchased by their daughter, Susan Meyer, who opened the Jackson Hole location.

Mariam Alaskari Diehl became Director of the Meyer Gallery in Jackson in 2002 and purchased the gallery from Susan Meyer in 2005. With the change of ownership, the gallery revised its name, becoming Meyer-Milagros Gallery. In early 2008, per contractual obligations, the gallery changed its name and is now Diehl Gallery. The Gallery continues to offer the highest quality of art and level of service for which the original Park City Meyer Gallery has always been known.

Diehl Gallery is dedicated to the promotion of national and international contemporary art. We cater to the taste and trends of the sophisticated Jackson art market and the Gallery's discerning worldwide collector base.

Diehl Gallery strives to contribute to the constantly evolving world of contemporary art by showcasing the work of both world-renowned and emerging artists. Some artists showing at the Diehl Gallery are unknown when first exhibited, not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world. Many of these artists are subsequently offered shows by galleries and museums internationally. To this effect, the gallery not only highlights recognizable work by established artists, but also encourages and promotes the development of new artists. We specialize in world-class contemporary paintings and bronze sculpture.
