> DESCRIPTION
As we wind down our tenure at Bergamot Station, we would like to thank all those who have come by to say hello and goodbye, and look forward to welcoming you all to our new space in January. In the meantime, look for us at the Pulse art fair in late September, and other fairs throughout the season. In order to fully focus on the construction of the new gallery, however, we are suspending our regular exhibition program. Masami Teraoka will inaugurate our new home at 2639 S. La Cienega Blvd in the early part of 2012. Our inventory of work will remain available for private viewing; if you would like to see something specific please call or email for an appointment.
Bergamot Station has been a wonderful home for the gallery for the past seventeen years, when Patricia Faure moved here from Almont Drive. Although we eventually changed the gallery name, we still miss Patty dearly, and remain committed to the level of quality she maintained and to many of the artists she championed. We have added a few new faces over the years because change is good, evolution is necessary, and we eagerly look forward to each new chapter.
To the artists, patrons, critics and supporters of the gallery, we extend our heartfelt and humble thanks. We will see you again soon.
History of the Gallery Asher/Faure opened on May 26, 1979 with paintings by Morris Louis at 8221 Santa Monica Blvd. In March of 1982, the Gallery moved to 612 N. Almont Drive, with a show of artists from Pace gallery. In 1994, after the death of Betty Asher, the gallery moved to Bergamot Station, at 2525 Michigan Ave, in Santa Monica, as the Patricia Faure Gallery. In 2005, the gallery was sold to Samuel Freeman, but continued to operate under the Patricia Faure Gallery name until March of 2008, when the name was changed to Samuel Freeman. After handing over the reins and ensuring the continuity of the gallery, Patricia Faure passed away in October, 2008. The gallery continues the legacy of both Ms. Faure and Ms. Asher (Petty and Batty, to friends) in hopes of honoring them and all the artists who show with us now or in the past.
