The gallery opened in 2009 on the ground floor of the 1100 S. Hope Street building in Downtown Los
Angeles. In 2011, the gallery moved to the West Hollywood Avenues of Arts & Design. Located on
Robertson Boulevard, the gallery is housed in a two-story architectural space designed by Arata
Isozaki. Erected in 1967, the space previously housed Rolling Stones Records, the Michael Kohn Gallery
and, most recently, the Earl McGrath Gallery.
The gallery exhibits mid-career and established artists of international recognition, and has
prominently exhibited seminal installations and international projects of artists thereafter included
in important exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and the Pasadena Museum of
California Art. The gallery has helped foster the careers of influential contemporary artists,
including Marquis Lewis (RETNA). Rivera & Rivera has hosted a wide range of international
exhibitions, from a survey of the Chicano influence on Latin Art including works from Carlos Almaraz,
Frank Romero, The Date Farmers and Ismael Vargas to a survey of foreign and expatriate British artists
including Tobias Keene and Pete Stern. In addition, the gallery has collaborated on the international
exhibition of several urban artists including Miles Macgregor (El Mac), Augustine Kofie and Marquis
Lewis (RETNA).
