We specialize in curating collections of rare prints, limited editions, and one-of-a-kind artworks by world-renowned artists and emerging talent. Our inventory of over 300 gallery-owned artworks offers a diverse selection of art for sale. Beyond acquisition, we provide comprehensive advisory services, including expert curation, collection management, and strategic guidance.

Mimesis Gallery employs a data-driven approach that combines market research, cultural insights, and emerging trends to build collections with lasting cultural and market impact. Embracing a post-brick-and-mortar model, the gallery works with world-class art handling providers to ensure the secure storage and management of its inventory at a facility in Los Angeles.

Our Los Angeles-based team, with over 15 years of experience in the secondary art market, is committed to assisting you in building an exceptional art collection. We offer private showings by appointment in West Hollywood, CA, and at our storage facility on the eastside of Los Angeles. Showings are available Monday through Friday, 10 AM to 5 PM PST. We kindly request 48 hours' notice, as all artworks are stored offsite.

  • While we do not maintain a public-facing address, Mimesis Gallery offers exclusive, private showings at Soho Works by Soho House, located at 9000 W. Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA, as well as in Pasadena, CA. These personalized viewings allow you to experience our curated selection of museum-quality artworks in a private, sophisticated setting.

  • Our team consists of fine art specialists with over 15 years of experience in the secondary art market, ensuring that every artwork we offer is meticulously authenticated and of the highest quality.

    Each piece goes through a multi-step authentication process, examining crucial elements such as paper quality, ink types, and signatures, and is sold with a gallery-issued Certificate of Authenticity.

    Specializing in works on paper, our experts have evaluated thousands of artworks and possess an in-depth understanding of what to look for in fine prints and editions. We conduct extensive provenance research and directly source all exhibited artworks. Every piece listed in our collection is either owned by the gallery or consigned directly by one of our vetted collectors, ensuring the highest level of trust and transparency in every transaction.

  • We ship worldwide, ensuring that every artwork arrives safely and in perfect condition. Flat prints ship domestically for $195 and worldwide for $995. All artworks are professionally packed and shipped from Los Angeles, with shipping fees covering packing, shipping, and comprehensive fine art insurance for your peace of mind. A signature is required upon delivery, and please note that we are unable to insure artworks once they have been signed for.

    Artworks typically ship within 7-10 business days after payment has been received. If you have any special shipping requests or need assistance, our team is available to make the shipping process as seamless as possible from purchase to delivery.

  • If you're interested in acquiring an artwork, please reach out to one of our experts to begin the purchase process. An advisor will send you an invoice with direct payment information, including wire transfer details, credit card processing, and free ACH transfers.

    We partner with Stripe, a global leader in payment processing, to securely handle all credit card and ACH payments. Please note that all credit card payments incur a 3.5% transaction fee. Artworks are shipped once payment has cleared.

  • All sales are final and non-returnable or refundable. If an artwork arrives not as described or is damaged during shipping, please contact your advisor within 72 hours of delivery. We will work with you to resolve any issues promptly.

    Please view our Conditions of Sale for more details.

  • Our specialists are here to assist you with every step of your art acquisition process, including sourcing, framing, shipping, and installation. With access to a vast network of private collectors, we can also source artworks that may not be listed on our website.

    For personalized assistance, project consultations, or to inquire about trade pricing, please contact one of our specialists to discuss your needs in more detail.
