AUSTIN-HOHMANN

Colleagues turned collaborators: David Austin of Austin Art Projects and Christian Hohmann of Hohmann Fine Art have both been art dealers for 30+ years and have each built very successful galleries with different business models. Austin made his name with blue-chip artists, studio glass, and high-end secondary market works. Hohmann followed the passion of his parents who founded the gallery in the 1970s in Germany and represented primarily emerging and mid-career artists. Austin-Hohmann is a joint venture of the two art dealers with the goal to become the number one art destination in Southern California and to offer their collectors a superior art buying experience.

It started when Christian Hohmann purchased the Village Court gallery space from David Austin. The real estate transaction led to the occasional collaboration and ultimately to sharing the gallery space for joint exhibitions. The combined expertise, inventory, and infrastructure turned this partnership into the premier destination for art rivaling the finest galleries in Los Angeles or New York. Most recently, David Austin opened an additional space in the same building dedicated to high-end studio glass.

Appointments to visit the gallery are no longer necessary but are encouraged if you want to meet with either David or Christian.
