The Benjaman Gallery, Buffalo

The Benjaman Gallery, Buffalo

The Benjaman Gallery, established in 1970, is a cornerstone of Buffalo’s art scene and a trusted name in fine art throughout Western New York and beyond. Housed in a stunning Victorian mansion on Elmwood Avenue-complete with carved wood interiors and stained glass windows-the gallery is as much a work of art as the pieces it displays. Founded by Barry Johnson, an artist and educator whose MFA thesis evolved into a lasting family business, the gallery continues to thrive under the stewardship of his children, Emily Tucker and Charles Johnson.

Over the decades, The Benjaman Gallery has become known for its eclectic and high-quality art collection, which includes works by local talents such as Hal English, Milton Rogovin, and Martha Visser’t Hooft, and internationally celebrated names like Salvador Dalí, Peter Max, and Charles Burchfield. Whether you're a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, the gallery caters to a wide range of tastes and interests.

Beyond exhibitions, The Benjaman Gallery offers a full suite of art services-custom framing, restoration, appraisals, consignments, and design consultations. It’s also a destination for antique buyers and sellers. With plans to open a new gallery space in Brooklyn and to expand its Buffalo location, The Benjaman Gallery continues to evolve, all while remaining firmly rooted in its family-run origins and dedication to the arts.
