Frank Pictures Gallery - Fine Art Gallery

Frank Pictures Gallery

Frank Pictures Gallery is an independent gallery within Santa Monica, California's Bergamot Station arts complex. The gallery shows contemporary painting and sculpture as well as vintage and cutting edge photography. Founded by Laurie Frank and Floyd Byars, a screenwriting team best knows for Making Mr. Right (Orion Films 1987), it began in 1998 on Melrose Avenue as Still/Moving, a photographic gallery dedicated solely to the still photography of moving picture cinematographers and directors. In 2000, Frank split with Byars and moved the gallery, as the Media Rare Gallery, to a building on the second courtyard of then fashionable Hollywood watering hole, Les Deux Cafes, owned by Michele Lamy. The concept of the gallery expanded to include work by and for the whole Hollywood creative community. Media Rare moved again in 2002 to the top floor of Barneys New York, the department store in Beverly Hills. In 2003, Media Rare moved to current location in Santa Monica to form an association with Nancy Main of the Off Main gallery there, and further expanded conceptionally to encompass a more global slate of artists. These include: Gunnar Ahmer, Tom Benedek, Clifoton Bieundurry, Horace Bristol, Rhea Carmi, Cayetana Conrad, David Eddington, David Florimbi, Lynn Goldsmith, Joel Grey, Malone Mills, Maria Monroe, Ron Reihel, David Settino Scott, Robert Stivers, Andy Summers, Melly Trochez, and Peter Tunney. In 2004 Off Main moved to Ojai, California and Frank changed the name of the Bergamot gallery to Frank Pictures Gallery.
