Gallery 1988 Review

Great little art gallery in the heart of Melrose Hollywood. They have great brand and celebrity inspired exhibits. Check it out.

Learned about this gallery through the Get Up on This podcast, and Jensen Karp. Knew we wanted to visit the gallery on our LA trip because of that. If you're a fan of pop culture/pop art and artistic tributes to classics make a stop here. Gallery items can have a heavy price tag but you can get affordable prints from current and past shows for a very decent price. Follow them on Instagram to see what's currently on display.

Very beautiful original posters of all kinds, excellent!

This place is really cool, we bought some art and pins. I hope they have more events.

Went to a show featuring the great Weird Al Yankovic...the staff was nice and there was alot to see and reasonably priced.

I have not visited this gallery in person but have called them to inquire about pieces and products they were selling for the Mattel 2017 The Joys of Toys show. Staff was very helpful and willing to answer my questions over the phone. When I purchased prints from that show they were very well packaged and shipped securely (no one wants their limited edition prints banging around in a box!) and arrived less than a week after I had ordered them!! I hope my favorite artist's products are featured through this gallery again, since it was a pleasure doing business with them.

This is the newest location of a small and cool Art Gallery specializing in 1980s pop culture.

Followed G1988 for years and finally made it for the Art Awakens show last weekend. Great space, fantastic art + can't wait to catch another show soon. Would recommend for anyone visiting LA!

Amazing unique art, friendly staff and fun location. Love them and how beautiful they've made my home.

Love this place! Pop art gallery that is accessible and not pretentious!

Gallery1988 West is the larger of their two galleries. I had this place bookmarked for a long time but was never motivated enough to venture this far west... that is, until they had their Joss Whedon fan art exhibit.

My friend Laura S. and I came here for the opening night party and wow the line was long! We found metered street parking a block away and waited in line for what seemed like forever... Despite being the larger gallery, this one was completely packed which is why the line moved so slow. The artwork was amazing though and we were quite tempted to buy some of the prints, but sadly we ended up leaving empty handed. Since it was the opening night, they did have complimentary refreshments for everyone and a lot of the artists were present to talk about their work and take pictures. Joss Whedon was there earlier when only the press people and artists were allowed inside, so we were unable to meet him since he left before they opened it to the public.

I came again for Dan Goodsell's solo show for his Mr. Toast art. While he does post a lot of his work online, it was really cool to see all his work side by side on the walls. They also had complimentary posters for everyone who visited the exhibit. While I don't make it out here often, I do enjoy the exhibits that I see here and will definitely be back for their future ones.

Great gallery that shows really cool stuff, like 3G (Goonies, Ghostbusters and Gremlins), 8-bit, Lost Art, etc.

If you are looking for modern, funny, trendy lithographs, this is the right place

one the best galleries in LA. constantly evolving and showcasing numerous artists

Group show was on point! Fun hip ambience and good prices on their prints.

Love this place, definitely one of my top favorite galleries in Los Angeles.

Been here a few times in the last year or so. Had the privilege to go see the "Guillermo Del Toro: In Service Of Monsters" show here a month ago, got a great Matt Cavanaugh "Del Toro Danzig" Framed Print piece.

The staff were great and very informative with very pleasent, NON-pretentious attitudes.
I also give the show a five star along with this location.

Waiting for the next show.

Oh and if traveling from outside the L.A. area, plan to get to any show opening early to get parking, and look at the parking signs. No one likes a ticket. Plus plenty of great places nearby to grab a bite to eat.

Cool spot to look at pop art prints, prices on prints are very reasonable. Different stuff than the other gallery location so worth stopping at both.

Tiny space with art in fun pip-culture based themes.

Excellent and unique gallery! If you are in Hollywood and want to rifle through stacks of amazing prints, you must check this place out.

Possibly my favorite gallery in Los Angeles. The theme of their exhibits is always great and the artists they feature are amazing. I ve purchased a few original pieces from them and am always excited to find new art to add to my collection.

Interesting gallery. Cool stuff reminiscent of 80s pop culture, thus a favorite of 30-40 year old male louts (the male part is redundant)

great experience, always something interesting to watch

An excellent gallery that hosts some fun shows good luck finding parking but once you do it's and enjoyable area.

Wonderful gallery. Lots of fun art. Affordable pricing

The exhibits are completely unique and the workers are so chill. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The art for sale is beautiful and finely curated. Check it out! Don't miss this hidden gem!
