About this site:

It is the purpose of Whites Gallery to move this fabulous body of collected paintings down one generation. We are fortunate to have been the first gallery to represent Ben Abril, a one-man show in 1952. Though he exhibited with us several times throughout his prolific career, by far the most exciting show we were honored to display was his retrospective May 21st through May 31st, 2001.

This website reflects an amazing body of work owned by his family and a few other collectors. All works are for sale. If you are interested in purchasing a piece, please call the Gallery and arrange for a viewing of the work. In addition, Whites Gallery is interested in purchasing works of Ben Abril. For more information, please contact the gallery.

News:

Twenty-six Los Angeles paintings were included in an exhibition entitled “Ben Abril’s Los Angeles” and were on display at Inshallah Gallery in Los Angeles, courtesy of Whites Gallery and Mrs. Ben Abril. The exhibition marked the opening of “Gallery Row,” a new district on Main and Spring between 2nd and 9th. This district was named by the Los Angeles' City Council and is attracting developers to convert the original old buildings to theaters, galleries, restaurants and lofts.
