 or more than three decades, the DeVorzon Gallery has been like the
art world, ever changing, always interesting and provocative. With
one eye on investment...the other eye, and the heart of the gallery,
focused on the opening of new windows that bring joy and beauty to
its clients.
The gallery opened in 1968 on La Cienega Boulevard's "Gallery Row,"
specializing in 20th century master prints. In addition to a large
collection of Chagall, Picasso, Miro and Matisse, DeVorzon also
introduced Albers and Vasarely to Los Angeles. The gallery enjoyed
a marvelous success, expanding several times at the original location.
In 1980. The DeVorzon Gallery was invited to move to the premier
location within the prestigious Pacific Design Center. This
extraordinary new space enabled Barbara DeVorzon to showcase the
paintings, sculpture and works on paper of the new California art
movement. Among those she represented were Joe Goode, Ed Ruscha,
Sam Francis and John Kennedy. Her clientele encompassed old and
new collectors, interior designers, plus film and television production
companies. Headquarters of many major corporations including Xerox,
Cyprus Mines, Avery International, Shell Oil and Continental Telephone
commissioned Barbara DeVorzon to create meaningful collections that
would enhance the working environment.
Embracing an old world concept of showing art in an elegant home
setting, the DeVorzon Gallery relocated to Cento Angeli in 1994.
Dorothy Rice included the villa in her lavish coffee table book Beverly
Hills With Love:
I fell in love with this spectacular hillside home
masterfully decorated with beautiful antiques and
some of the most vibrant, colorful and expressive
artwork you can imagine. The home's gorgeous pool
area, lush gardens and magnificent natural light
enhance the overall effect created by the exquisite
taste of it's owner, art consultant, Barbara DeVorzon.
