Weidman Gallery has been proudly serving Southern California since 1963. We are the premier source for quality custom picture framing and vintage advertising posters in Los Angeles. We provide outstanding customer service with a small and experienced staff, dedicated to giving our clients the best possible experience.
Founded by iconic Los Angeles artist, David Weidman and his brother Ralph, to showcase David’s now famous original serigraphs. As his popularity gained momentum with a large designer and entertainment industry base, it wasn’t long before the gallery expanded into custom picture framing as they saw the need for quality design and workmanship, so the transition into the framing business was a natural one.
Eventually, the framing became so predominant, that David stopped making prints in the late 1970’s and started offering other works on paper to showcase our framing diversity. Since then, our reputation as one of the foremost framers in the area quickly spread by word of mouth forming a large and loyal client base.
Their niece, Janet Zimberg, had worked at the gallery all through high school. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (FIDM), she spent almost 2 decades in the Fashion Industry. She returned to the gallery in 1990 and introduced European Advertising Posters. Janet bought the gallery from her uncles in 2001 and is now the owner/director, making it one of the few 2nd generation, L.A. family owned and run businesses still in operation. The gallery expanded on its inventory to include vintage advertising of all kinds, including film, music, travel, circus, product, propaganda, etc. from all over the globe, spanning from the 1880s to the present. We now house L. A.’s largest selection of vintage advertising. We also offer the finest linen backing and restoration services as well.
