Yares Art was founded in Scottsdale, Arizona by Riva Yares in 1964. 

In 1991, Yares Art established a second gallery in Santa Fe, NM. In 2016, Dennis Yares expanded the galleries to New York, with 10,000 square feet of exhibition space at its 5th Avenue venue. The primary focus of the gallery is Color Field painting of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. 

Yares Art represents the estates of Milton Avery, Thomas Downing, Friedel Dzubas, Jules Olitski, and exclusively represents Larry Poons. The exhibition calendar for 2021 includes Jules Olitski, Larry Poons, Frank Stella, and Kenneth Noland. 

Yares Art publishes catalogues and books annually. 

The gallery participates in select art fairs including TEFAF Maastricht, TEFAF New York, and ART BASEL Miami.

Yares Art has been a member of the ADAA (Art Dealers Association of America), for 30 years.
