Johnson Lowe Gallery

What Johnson Lowe Gallery does

Johnson Lowe Gallery is a privately held contemporary art gallery located at 764 Miami Circle, Suite 210, Atlanta, GA, operating a 7,000-square-foot exhibition space. Founded in 1989 by Bill Lowe as Bill Lowe Gallery, it was re-established in 2023 under Director Donovan Johnson following a leadership transition, with John Lowe continuing as Business Manager. The gallery represents emerging, mid-career, and established artists across painting, sculpture, installation, video, and printmaking, with a historical roster that includes Thornton Dial, Judy Pfaff, Markus Lupertz, Ida Applebroog, and Leiko Ikemura, and a current roster featuring Kathryn Kampovsky, Fahamu Pecou, Sergio Suárez, and Jimmy O'Neal.

The gallery operates a traditional gallery sales model, earning commission on primary-market sales of artworks to individual collectors, corporate collectors, museums, and cultural institutions. It complements its physical exhibition program with online viewing rooms (johnsonlowe.com/viewing-room) and a partnership on the Artsy global art marketplace, extending collector reach beyond its regional Southeast US base. The gallery also participates in art fairs including the Atlanta Art Fair and secures earned media coverage in outlets such as the New York Times, Frieze, Artsy, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Its curatorial program is anchored by periodic exhibition openings, artist talks, and curatorial walkthroughs.

The business is small — a stated five-person team covering Director, Assistant Director, Business Manager, Registrar & Collections Manager, and Gallery Assistant — with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no institutional investment. Revenue is generated through commission on artwork sales and is not publicly disclosed. The company has no AI/ML capabilities described, no app products, and no API or SDK offerings; its technology stack consists of the Artlogic website platform for online presence and exhibition management.
