Louis Stern Fine Arts, Contemporary art gallery in West Hollywood, United States.
Louis Stern Fine Arts is a gallery at 9002 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood, on the city's Avenue of Art and Design. Founded in 1988, it shows twentieth-century West Coast abstraction, notably Hard-edge painting, alongside European modernists and contemporary painting, sculpture and photography, and also deals in the secondary market.
The gallery was established in 1988 by Louis Stern, a Morocco-born art dealer who built on expertise developed in his earlier career with his father Frederic. The space later focused more on West Coast abstraction and became an important exhibition venue for Hard-edge movement artists.
The gallery plays a role in the contemporary art world by showcasing artists who work with abstraction and modern techniques. Visitors can see how artistic movements have developed in the region and which local and international artists are currently featured.
Louis Stern Fine Arts sits at 9002 Melrose Avenue, in the section of West Hollywood known as the Avenue of Art and Design, so it can be combined with a walk past neighbouring galleries.

The gallery initiated the Alfredo Ramos Martinez Research Project, a research effort that began in 1991 and focuses on documenting Mexican modernist art history. This project shows a deeper commitment to researching and preserving artistic traditions beyond commercial exhibitions.
