Vladimir Arts

Vladimir Arts got its start in 1975, after Lew Iwlew, stationed in Germany, was honorably discharged from active duty in the U.S. Army. He noted that U.S. servicemen and women stationed overseas were buying "art" from vendors positioned outside military bases and offering such items as paintings on black velvet.

Thirty years after that beginning, Vladimir Arts and Lew and Iris Iwlew have established a worldwide, multi-million dollar business as publisher, distributor, wholesaler and retailer of original oils, acrylics, watercolors and collector graphics.
