Lisa Sette Gallery, Inc.

What Lisa Sette Gallery, Inc. does

Lisa Sette Gallery, Inc. is a privately held contemporary art gallery headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, operating continuously since at least 1994. The gallery curates and sells works by represented artists across painting, sculpture, mixed media, photography, and installation, with a roster that includes blue-chip figures such as James Turrell and William Wegman alongside emerging artists. The gallery is directed by founder Lisa Sette, supported by a small team of five (Associate Director Duane Smith, Director of Sales Samantha Strom, Preparator/Registrar Lena Klett, and Gallery Associate Valerie Navarrete), and operates from a single physical showroom at 210 East Catalina Drive.

The gallery's commercial infrastructure is built on the Artlogic website platform with Stripe-powered e-commerce checkout, supplemented by a listing on the Artsy online marketplace for broader collector reach. Its go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer: exhibition-driven opening receptions, inquiry-based artwork sales, an installed mailing list, and organic social presence on Instagram and Facebook. The gallery is no longer accepting new artist submissions, signaling consolidation around its existing roster. Programming includes rotating exhibitions (e.g., Summer Groove and William Wegman atrium shows), editions and prints sold through the online store, and the Moonlight Salon—a private gathering space in the Sonoran desert for collectors and artists.

Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time artwork sales, with prices quoted on inquiry rather than publicly listed. The gallery serves individual and institutional art collectors as its primary customer segment, with a secondary audience of general art enthusiasts and visitors. There is no venture capital or private equity involvement, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public revenue figures. The business model is a traditional, relationship-driven gallery model with lightweight digital extensions rather than a scaled, technology-mediated marketplace.

Direct peers

• Kavi Gupta: Chicago-based contemporary gallery representing internationally recognized and emerging artists across diverse media. Comparable scale, programming cadence, and dual primary-market/secondary-market collector engagement.
• Marian Goodman Gallery: New York-based gallery recognized for conceptual and contemporary programming, with a roster that has historically overlapped with Lisa Sette's (including artists working in conceptual photography and post-minimalist traditions). Similar artist-curation philosophy and museum-tier collector base.
• Anthony Meier Fine Arts: San Francisco-based contemporary gallery of similar small-team scale, representing established and mid-career artists across diverse media. Comparable single-location gallery model focused on conceptual contemporary programming and collector sales.
• Roberts Projects: Los Angeles contemporary gallery of comparable size representing established and mid-career artists. Operates with a similar single-location exhibition and sales model targeting institutional and private collectors.
• Regen Projects: Los Angeles-based contemporary gallery of comparable mid-size scale, representing established conceptual and contemporary artists. Operates with a similar exhibition-driven sales model and serves institutional and private collectors in a single regional market.

Broad incumbents

• David Zwirner: Major global contemporary gallery representing blue-chip living artists across conceptual, photographic, and installation practices. Overlapping collector base and artist roster tier, but at significantly larger global scale than Lisa Sette.
• Pace Gallery: Global contemporary gallery with a roster that has historically included figures working in Light and Space, conceptual, and post-minimalist traditions — directly relevant to Lisa Sette's representation of artists like James Turrell. Broader and far larger scale than the subject.
• Gagosian: The largest global network of contemporary galleries, representing many of the world's most prominent living artists. Operates an overlapping conceptual-contemporary sales model but at vastly greater scale, with global gallery locations dwarfing Lisa Sette's single Phoenix footprint.

Others

• Artsy: Online art marketplace that is both a channel partner and adjacent ecosystem player for Lisa Sette Gallery. Not a competitor but a complementary distribution platform enabling the gallery's reach to international collectors.
