  • One of LA’s finest galleries for contemporary American art, its shows may feature sculpture by Los Angeles-based Robert Graham, ethereal paintings by Mary Corse, or colorful assemblages by Charles Arnoldi.

  • Henri Rousseau (1844–1910) is renowned for his poetic, naive paintings that depict magical, lushly landscaped dream worlds. He created this work shortly before his death.

  • A power in the world of rare, vintage, and contemporary art photography, Fahey/Klein showcases Henri Cartier-Bresson and other high-profile artists.

  • This gallery specializes in late 19th and early 20th-century California-based Impressionist landscape painters such as Guy Rose and Maurice Brown.

  • Home to the largest collection of Andy Warhol originals on the West Coast, this gallery also features Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring, and other pop art icons.

  • This gallery run by the Mexican-born sisters Ana and Teresa Iturralde functions as a gateway to the US market for many modern and contemporary Latin American artists.

  • Jan Baum is a top dealer in international and American art and represents prominent African-American artists, including the Saar family. Betye Saar designed downtown’s Biddy Mason park (see Biddy Mason: A Passage of Time).

  • Renaissance artist Raphael (1483–1520) was only 19 years old when he painted this work. It perfectly exemplifies his geometrically balanced compositions and ability to imbue his figures with spirituality and tenderness.

  • Margo Leavin presents contemporary American and European art and photography. Claes Oldenburg designed the sculpture “Knife Slicing Through Water” by the entrance.

  • Vincent Van Gogh (1853–90) painted Patience Escalier, a gardener and shepherd, against a night-blue background to create “a mysterious effect, like a star in the depths of an azure sky.”
