History
Legacy
Established in 1975, the Weston Gallery is one of the oldest photographic galleries in the world. It is owned and operated by Matthew Weston (a grandson of Edward Weston) and his wife Davika “Davi” Weston who serves as a member of the board of The Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD). The Weston Gallery was founded by Margaret “Maggi” Weston and opened with a one-man show of the works, and at the urging of her dear friend, Ansel Adams. Along with a handful of pioneering photography galleries, the Weston Gallery has played a critical role in the creation of today's photographic market.

We emphasize those works which we feel are important to the overall history of 19th, modernist and 20th, as well as contemporary photography. We are fortunate to have an extensive inventory and a wealth of knowledge to assist any collector. We represent over 80 artists including some of their estates, trusts and archives.
