King Street Gallery on William

What King Street Gallery on William does

King Street Gallery on William is a privately held commercial art gallery established in Sydney in the 1980s, currently operating from 177-185 William Street in Darlinghurst within walking distance of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The gallery is co-directed by Robert Linnegar and Randi Linnegar with a small staff of approximately six, and represents senior Australian contemporary artists including Elisabeth Cummings, Lucy Culliton, Tom Carment, Euan Macleod, Idris Murphy, Paul Selwood, Wendy Sharpe, and Guy Warren, alongside a rotating slate of guest and emerging artists.

The gallery's core offering is an exhibition program — solo and group shows in painting, sculpture, works on paper, and limited edition prints — supported by artist representation, art advisory, collection management, and ATO Cultural Gifts Program valuations. Distribution occurs through three channels: the physical gallery (open Tuesday–Saturday with weekend-by-appointment access), a dedicated e-commerce store at kingstreetgallery.store, and a presence on the global Artsy marketplace. Marketing runs across Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, email newsletters, exhibition openings, and artist talks.

Commercially, King Street Gallery generates revenue from one-time sales of artworks and limited edition prints, with pricing available only on enquiry rather than published. In 2018 the gallery expanded materially when it absorbed artists from the closing Watters Gallery and rebranded upon relocation to its current Darlinghurst address. Ownership remains family-controlled, with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or external investors.
