'To be in business for 50 years is a big deal. And to have the level of artists that we have is a big deal.” One of The City's most renowned art galleries continues to open opportunities.
In 2015, Rena Bransten Gallery lost its spectacular modern 3,400-square-foot space at 77 Geary St. It was a plum location on a corner of the second floor with enormous windows facing north and west, two blocks from the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.
“It was a very hard thing to compete with. Brutal,” said Trish Bransten in the rear room of the gallery, her prolific brown-and-gray-streaked curls bouncing as she spoke. “But to be in business for 50 years is a big deal. And to have the level of artists that we have is a big deal.” The art world is all about relationships, whether with artists, colleagues or collectors, and running a contemporary art gallery representing emerging and established artists since 1974 is no picnic. Yet the Branstens’ teamwork has long inspired trust and open dialogue from collectors, curators, critics and the artists themselves.
“It is not about them, it’s about the artists,” said 87-year-old artist Oliver Lee Jackson, whose large-scale paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures were first represented by the Rena Bransten Gallery between 1982 through 1985. He rejoined the gallery in 2018. “They work hard and compete, use their contacts and institutional reach,” he said.
