Rosamund Felsen Gallery

Rosamund Felsen Gallery was an art gallery in Los Angeles dedicated to contemporary works across multiple mediums. The space displayed paintings, sculptures, and photographs from both emerging and established artists working in experimental and conceptual fields.

The gallery began in 1978 and became a pivotal space for contemporary art in Los Angeles over the following decades. It relocated several times across the city, moving from its original location to the Arts District, adapting its role as the local art scene evolved.

The gallery shaped how people saw contemporary art by showing works from artists who pushed boundaries and questioned conventions. It became known as a place where visitors could encounter challenging and thought-provoking installations and artworks.

Visitors could explore rotating exhibitions featuring diverse artistic approaches and participate in art fairs to discover emerging perspectives. The gallery's multiple locations across Los Angeles at different times meant that interested viewers had different access points depending on when they visited.

An installation by Chris Burden called Big Wheel was shown here in 1979 and eventually became part of the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles collection. This early acquisition demonstrated the gallery's eye for recognizing work that would later gain major institutional recognition.
