Weinstein Gallery, Inc.

What Weinstein Gallery, Inc. does

Weinstein Gallery, Inc. is a privately held, San Francisco-based art gallery founded in 1992 that specializes in Surrealist and 20th-century modern art with a distinctive focus on women Surrealist artists, including Leonor Fini, Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, and Frida Kahlo. The gallery curates and presents exhibitions at its physical gallery (444 Clementina St, San Francisco) and is opening a new Los Angeles location in 2025, while also participating in major international art fairs such as Art Basel Miami Beach and Independent 20th Century. Its primary revenue is generated through buying and selling fine art on a transaction/commission basis, with secondary revenue from museum lending relationships and exclusive distribution of the Leonor Fini Catalogue Raisonné in limited Collector's (125 copies) and Deluxe (450 copies) editions.

The gallery's business model is event-driven and relationship-driven, relying on participation in international art fairs, museum exhibitions, and direct private sales to high-net-worth collectors and cultural institutions. It serves two principal segments: high-net-worth private collectors seeking museum-quality Surrealist works (with individual pieces ranging from tens of thousands to $15 million), and major museums worldwide that borrow works for exhibitions and retrospectives — including Palazzo Reale Milan, Art Institute of Chicago, Katonah Museum of Art, Tate Liverpool, Fundación MAPFRE, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, and Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey. Notably, the gallery has been associated with record auction results for represented artists, including a Frida Kahlo work that sold for $54.7 million at Sotheby's in November 2025 (new auction record for a female artist), Leonora Carrington's La Grande Dame at $9.8 million, and Leonor Fini's Autoportrait au scorpion at $2.3 million. Weinstein Gallery remains independently owned, with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public financial reporting.
