Under the keen direction of founder Lorna York, a 40-year art world veteran and collector, this 4,000-square-foot space represents artists who share her powerful and eloquent vision.
"The mission of my gallery is to bring global contemporary art from artists worldwide to Southern California."
Founded in 2001, Madison Gallery is committed to representing a global program of mid-career and established international artists working in various media and materiality. Madison Gallery's program focuses on internationally recognized, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to Southern California for the first time. Many of the gallery's primary artists, shown initially with Madison Gallery, are now being exhibited internationally and by established galleries in other cities, proving that the gallery has become a significant platform for young talent to launch their careers. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art, the gallery consistently curates and exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery offers a complete range of services to the lifelong collector and the first-time buyer, including in-home curatorial services, personal collection development and curating, on-site consultation, virtual previews, international sourcing, and worldwide shipping. The gallery works closely in building private, corporate, and public museum institutional collections, thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in southern California. Lorna's care and attention to artist relations at the gallery give contemporary art a space to thrive in Southern California by creating a stronger sense of community with the art world.
