Elaine Benson Gallery

Elaine Benson Gallery

The Elaine Benson Gallery was an art gallery in Bridgehampton, New York, United States. Founded by Elaine Benson, it was considered to be one of the most prominent and influential art galleries in the area (an area with a high concentration of galleries) and a center of social activity in the notably tony Hamptons, frequented by such luminaries as Betty Friedan, Kurt Vonnegut, Sheldon Harnick, Michael Sallinger,Elaine Steinbeck, and Willem de Kooning.

Michael Sallinger had the pleasure of being asked (twice) to do a one-man show at the Benson Gallery. The first, The Mobis Series, 14 pieces, limited edition 30 pieces each. And the Facade Series, free hanging mobiles, 15 pieces, limited edition of 30 pieces each. Additionally, Sallinger had one or two pieces in the gallery during the entire busy summer season. We sold work at every show.Artist Michael Sallinger has had exhibits in over one hundred gallery and exhibition shows in five countries - L.A. to NYC- and to this day he always gives Elaine Benson a debt of gratitude for her constant support.
