30 YEARS

In 1996, Martin Weinstein opened Weinstein Gallery in South Minneapolis. In 2018, long-time gallery director Leslie Hammons became a partner and the gallery officially adopted the name Weinstein Hammons Gallery, reflecting the longstanding collaboration between Leslie Hammons and Martin Weinstein. 

Over the past three decades, the gallery has presented more than 200 exhibitions and participated in over 60 national and international art fairs, building a local, national, and international roster of acclaimed artists while maintaining its hallmark commitment to creating thoughtful and compelling shows.

The 30th anniversary exhibition honors the past, engages the present, and celebrates the creative relationships that have defined the gallery’s program over the last thirty years. Artists in the exhibition include: Nicolas Africano, Daniel Arnold, Matthew Brandt, Edward Burtynsky, Lynn Davis, Gail Albert Halaban, Erik Madigan Heck, Tia Keobounpheng, Maren Kloppmann, Vera Lutter, Robert Mapplethorpe, Ruben Nusz, Teo Nguyen, Gordon Parks, Robert Polidori, Nancy Rexroth, August Sander, Stephanie Shih, Mike and Doug Starn, Sara Suppan, and Paolo Ventura. 

Weinstein Hammons Gallery would like to thank friends and clients for their support of the gallery, our director Bade Turgut, local and national press for the thoughtful reviews and coverage, and most of all, the artists who have inspired us.
