Quint Gallery

What Quint Gallery does

Quint Gallery is a contemporary art gallery founded in 1981 in La Jolla, San Diego, originally operating as Quint Contemporary Art. It presents and sells contemporary art through rotating exhibitions at two La Jolla locations (7655 and 7722 Girard Avenue), the ONE satellite space at the Bread & Salt art building in Logan Heights (opened 2020), and periodic pop-up exhibitions including a 2023 presence at Bergamot Station Arts Center in Santa Monica. The gallery represents artists whose work is held in major institutional collections including MoMA, Whitney, and Guggenheim, with notable representation of Light and Space artist Robert Irwin.

The gallery's core offering is curated contemporary art — solo and group exhibitions spanning painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media — by artists including Robert Irwin, Nancy Blum, Daniel Douke, Jean Lowe, Patricia Patterson, and Griselda Rosas. It complements physical exhibitions with an e-commerce store (powered by Stripe, supporting USD/GBP/AUD/EUR) selling limited edition prints ($250-$5,000), publications ($10-$55), and merchandise ($14-$75). Original artworks are priced on a quote basis. The technology footprint is minimal: a content-managed website built via Artlogic, Stripe payment processing, and WCAG/ADA-compliant accessibility infrastructure.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time art sales, supplemented by publications and merchandise. The gallery reaches collectors through Instagram, an email newsletter, exhibition openings, artist walkthroughs, and art fair participation. Its customer base consists of individual collectors (primary segment), institutional buyers (museums and universities), and public art programs such as INSITE and the Carlsbad Flower Fields commission. The gallery is privately held, owner-operated, and discloses no ownership structure, funding, or revenue figures.

Direct peers

• Roberts Projects: Established Los Angeles contemporary gallery with a similar exhibition model and roster of historically significant Southern California artists. Comparable to Quint in scale, program, and target collector base.
• Honor Fraser Gallery: Los Angeles contemporary gallery with a regional and institutional focus similar to Quint, showing artists with strong critical reputations. Comparable in collector base and exhibiting model.
• Parrasch Heijnen Gallery: Los Angeles contemporary gallery representing historically significant and mid-career artists with ties to Southern California. Comparable to Quint in artist caliber, regional positioning, and exhibition-led sales model.
• Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects: Major LA contemporary gallery exhibiting established and mid-career artists with strong institutional representation. Closely comparable to Quint in its emphasis on artists with museum collections and its exhibition-led primary sales model.
• Luis De Jesus Los Angeles: Los Angeles–based contemporary gallery with roots in the San Diego/Tijuana border region, showing conceptually driven artists. Comparable to Quint in its SoCal focus, cross-border cultural programming, and representation of artists exploring identity and regional themes.
• Kayne Griffin (Kayne Griffin Corcoran): Southern California contemporary art gallery with a similar scale and exhibiting model to Quint Gallery, sharing a focus on minimal, conceptual, and light-and-space artists. Comparable in that both serve regional collectors with secondary spaces for experimental programming.

Broad incumbents

• Pace Gallery: Global mega-gallery with major presence in light and space artists (including Robert Irwin). Comparable to Quint because it represents many of the same historically significant artists, though it operates at a meaningfully larger scale with multiple global locations.
• Regen Projects: Hollywood-based blue-chip contemporary gallery with a much larger artist roster and global reach. Comparable to Quint in its light-and-space and LA-adjacent programming but operates at a substantially larger scale.
• Hauser & Wirth: International gallery with a global multi-location footprint and a strong roster of historically significant contemporary artists. Comparable to Quint as a commercial gallery with programming emphasis on established artists, though at vastly greater scale.

Regional players

• Jeffrey Deitch: Los Angeles contemporary gallery with SoCal roots and historical ties to light-and-space and conceptual movements. Comparable to Quint in regional focus and curatorial emphasis, though it serves primarily the LA market.
