Sebastian Izzard LLC

Upper East Side side streets hold quiet pockets of old New York. Sebastian Izzard LLC occupies one of them, an art gallery that specializes in Japanese woodblock prints, scrolls, and Meiji-era paintings. The space sits above street level at 17 E 76th St #3F, where the elevator opens directly into a setting reserved for collectors and scholars rather than casual foot traffic.

Visits are typically arranged ahead, so a quick call to (212) 794-1522 ensures someone will be available to share details on current holdings. Directions can be pulled from the map at this link, though the discreet entrance might require a second look. Beyond the gallery door, the neighborhood’s usual hum fades, leaving only the rustle of archival paper and the occasional chime of an old clock.
