Rosamund Felsen Gallery

The Rosamund Felsen Gallery is one of the longest-running art galleries in Los Angeles, California, involved in and influencing the broader American art community since its establishment in 1978. The gallery has moved three times since its inception, now residing in the Wholesale District, Los Angeles in Downtown Los Angeles near the Arts District, Los Angeles.

Rosamund Felsen Gallery was established in 1978 on N. La Cienega Boulevard in Los Angeles, California. In the gallery's first year, the artists exhibited were Guy Dill, Richard Jackson, Keith Sonnier, Peter Lodato, Alexis Smith, Maria Nordman, and William Wegman. In the second year, Karen Carson and Grant Mudford were added to the gallery’s program, and Chris Burden’s Big Wheel was exhibited for the first time, now in the Permanent Collection of Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles' collection. The La Cienega space had been formerly occupied by gallerist, Riko Mizuno and later by Gagosian Gallery.

In 1980, Richard Jackson exhibited his first installation of stacked paintings, Big Ideas, at Rosamund Felsen Gallery. Later versions of stacked paintings, would be exhibited at his retrospective at Orange County Museum of Art.

In 1981, the four out of sixteen artists who were in Los Angeles County Museum (LACMA)’s exhibition, The Museum as Site – Sixteen Projects, an exhibition devoted to significance of site-specific art in the 1970s, included Richard Jackson, Chris Burden and the only women artists in the exhibition, Karen Carson and Alexis Smith, were represented by Rosamund Felsen Gallery. On New Year’s Eve, 1981, a black tie opening was held at the gallery for the exhibition of Robert Rauschenberg’s photographic series, In + Out City Limits: Los Angeles, one of several series the artist has made of specific cities.
