The Benjaman Gallery has become an institution in Western New York. Having been in business since 1970, the Gallery has also become a trusted resource for fine art and art services for collectors all over the country.

Begun as part of a thesis to complete a Masters in Fine Art Program at Buffalo State College, the original gallery owners purchased a small storefront on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, New York. Two years later, their business was booming and a gorgeous Victorian mansion two doors down was chosen to house the magnificent collection of fine art you see today, both in the gallery and online.

The Benjaman Gallery remains a family owned and operated business in the art district of the vibrant Elmwood strip between downtown Buffalo and the Albright-Knox and Burchfield Penny Art Museums. Furthermore, the collection is enhanced by its surroundings in the historic 1800's Victorian mansion. The details of the building, from the hand-carved wood molding to the stained glass windows are an enjoyable architectural and artistic experience all on their own.

The Benjaman Gallery has an eclectic collection of fine art in every media and they pride themselves on having something for even the most discerning of collectors.

The Gallery also offers several services including custom framing, appraisals, consignments, estate buying, design consultation and research. Offering friendly service and an extensive research library, the Benjaman Gallery is happy to work with families looking to enhance their homes, experienced buyers building investment quality art collections and business professionals completing office spaces.

The Gallery employs a qualified staff equipped with numerous degrees in Fine Art giving their customers the knowledge and assurance to make informed buying decisions.

The Benjaman Gallery's viewing rooms have housed numerous solo exhibitions for artists of international acclaim such as Peter Max, Frederick Hart, Erté, Robert Blair, Romero Britto, Michel Delacroix, Frank Gallo, James C. Litz, Philippe Halsman, and many others.

The original owners' two children and son-in-law have come home to Buffalo to help renovate and preserve the integrity of the Gallery, as well as express the importance of the collection begun so many years ago.

This spring, in honor of their 40th year, the Benjaman Gallery is planning a whole new host of exciting exhibitions, both group and solo in order to bring new art to the Buffalo area. The Gallery has purchased several artist's estates as well as the works of young emerging artists, all of which will be on view to the public in 2010.

The Benjaman Gallery is an archive of many regional masters such as: Alexander Levy, Virginia Cuthebert, Arthur Lindberg, Milton Rogovin, Robert Blair, James C. Litz and Charles Burchfield.
