Visiting this gallery was one of the highlights of my trip to Austin. Derek was passionate and knowledgeable, and I was able to enjoy a lot of beautiful work. Seeing a Dali and Picasso (along with a bunch of other wonderful artists) was an unexpected treat. Strongly recommend for anyone, whether youre a buyer or just someone who appreciates art.

One of Austins best contemporary galleries. Always worth stopping in to see what they have. This gallery also has a fun gift shop. They share a parking lot with several other businesses that are wrapped around the treaty oak.

West Chelsea Contemporary Art is in progress and prepping for a new exhibit to debut on Friday, 30August! There will be Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró and other incredible art. Derek is knowledgeable about every artist and Monica welcomes you with a warm smile into the gallery. What I loved as I walked up the steps to the entrance, I noticed that each step has a painted stencil that reads: She s Beautiful. Shes A Texan. That slogan needs to be on a ballcap/tshirt/decal for a pickup truck. Or Jeep.

This art gallery is amazing. Great varied works of art from different types of artists and mediums. Simon Berger was on display and I was floored with the emotion leaking from every piece. Pictures arent enough to capture. Please try to focus differently on his work to experience the emotion and direct display of the artwork. Truly amazing.

This gallery always has cutting-edge exhibits that rival any museum. The staff is professional, pleasant, helpful and polite. Youd never expect to find such a world-class institution tucked away on West 6th, so its completely worth a visit. The current exhibit by Swiss artist Simon Berger is especially mind-blowing; his work with cracked glass defies any logical explanation and leaves you shaking your head in admiration.

My husband and I have worked with art consultant Irfan Ishaq for over a year to find the right artwork for our space. Over this time, Irfan has been thoughtful and patient in understanding the qualities we were looking for within our budget. Communicating with him has been easy and pressure-free, and when we found that perfect piece, he went out of his way to schedule our installation as quickly as possible. Ethan installed the art on a holiday (Memorial Day) and did so with care. Great gallery and every interaction with the staff has been outstanding along the way; we cant wait to enjoy more art at the gallery!

I met Irfan by chance talking about traveling, art, etc. I commute to Austin for work and live out of town. I had no idea about West Chelsea and he said I should come by with my kiddos & check it out. We homeschool and we used today as an opportunity to talk to them about Art history and take in my 13 year old and 9 year olds. I m SO GLAD WE DID. It was a very welcoming experience for the kids to be able to talk and show Salvador Dali Art, one of my favorites, along with the Bob Gruen Art. It was so uplifting having these pieces here in a local area that I had no clue about since I myself travel often. Irfan acknowledged my kiddos even tho it may seem scary bring kids to an art museum but it s also important to continue the love to the younger generations. We will definitely be coming back for future shows & can t wait to see what comes next.

I visited West Chelsea yesterday with some friends. Irfan welcomed us and kindly offered to guide us through the exhibits. He was very knowledgeable and informed on each artist and their work and made himself available to any questions we had. To make the experience even more enjoyable he graciously offered us beverages to enjoy as we walked through the gallery and we were welcomed to take pictures of the artwork. It was a wonderful experience and I plan on returning to this wonderful gallery.

Ashlyn gave us a private tour of the gallery even though we mentioned that we were just there to look and not in the market to purchase. She was so courteous and her knowledge and passion for the art, artists, and their inspiration elevated our viewing pleasure ten-fold to what it would have been without her expertise. She also knew exactly when to let us explore on our own and when to return to give us more insights. This fine touch was exceptional. We will 100% be back! Thank you Ashlyn!

Before we moved to Austin my girlfriend and I made it a point to visit this gallery every time we visited. They cycle through there pieces fairly regularly, and there consultants (especially Megan) are extremely well versed in the pieces they show and the artists behind them. I m happy to report that while we live in Austin, and have the opportunity to visit more often, The well hasn t dried up so to speak. To say visiting is a learning experience would be a massive understatement. You can truly feel the personal connection that the gallery and the people behind it have toward each and every piece on it s walls. Aside from the featured artists cycling through there works on a regular basis, The Contemporary makes a regular effort to showcase art put together by local artists, out of not only Austin, but Central Texas as a whole, which I greatly appreciate. All in all I d say this is absolutely a place not only to visit when in town, but a place to return too on a regular basis. If to do nothing else than to ask Megan her thoughts on the pieces being sold in the gallery at any given moment. You won t be disappointed, and I will be returning! I d ad photos if I was ever not to mesmerized to remember to take any. Huge thanks to Megan and the rest of the staff for always making us feel welcome in an otherwise disconnected environment!

An overdue account of a meh afternoon made special at WCC: Earlier this month on yet another Saturday of unrelenting 100+ degree heat, where going to the pool (again) had worn out its appeal, my boyfriend and I thought to pop in to the WCC gallery. We hadn t been in a couple of months and an activity with air conditioning sounded pretty good. We hadn t anticipated what would be a most memorable visit! We were welcomed warmly by Megan with refreshing bottled water, an explanation that everything featured in the gallery was curated by one of their own employees, and an open invitation to learn more about any artist or piece specifically. My boyfriend and I walked the space and Megan appeared at what seemed like the most natural and yet delightfully-timed moments as we were lingering in front of some pieces longer than others. And depending on the gallery or gallery staff, art environments can sometimes make you feel unwelcome or stuffy. But Megan s personality and the overall vibe of WCC is such a come as you are , welcoming, warm, human vibe. We loved learning little quirks about artists or more about the why behind the art. But that wasn t even the best part My boyfriend is a Dali fan (and I m putting that mildly). After another gallery employee pointed out a tattoo of Dali on my boyfriend s arm, Megan chimed in, Do you want to see some Dali pieces we have in archive? Uhm, heck yes we do! So we ventured to the back and got up close and personal with close to 15 originals that are from a family lineage private collection. My boyfriend is not what you d describe as overly emotive, but when he says, This makes me so happy. My day is made. trust me, he s over the moon! Thank you Megan for such a personal, informative and fun afternoon :) We can t wait to come back soon!

WCC is an amazing place to learn about contemporary art and find treasured and investible pieces to add to your collection. I first met Derek upon a referral from a friend, and he couldnt have been kinder, more helpful, or easier to work with. He is always full of knowledge, sharing wide ranging information to bring artists and their works into context. He has a broad grasp of the art ecosystem and has greatly helped me learn about the dynamic art market. I look forward to continue learning and building my art collection, thanks to WCC and Derek.

I ve been a fan of WCC s collection for years- they have had pieces from my favorite artist The Love Child and I ve always been in awe of his work. When one came across my radar early this year, I called and Derek immediately asked if I d like to come in and see some work. Immediately I was blown away by Derek s knowledge of not only the pieces I was in to view, but every piece of art we walked by. He took a big part of his day to show me pieces he was passionate about, which made me feel like I wasn t just there to purchase art but really enjoy an experience. Allee, WCC s gallery director, is also amazingly passionate and knowledgeable about every aspect of art within the gallery. Her passion (especially for The Love Child) intersects so nicely with her overall welcoming personality and love of the art. I ve purchased multiple pieces from Derek and will continue to go to him for my art. He takes his craft very seriously, and his love of art is apparent. Any time I m downtown I love stopping by to say hey and see the new stuff- Derek and all of the WCC family is so welcoming and excited to show off their latest works. Lastly, I highly recommend seeing a show here. The gallery layout is terrific for a large show or a small more intimate showing- the setup is perfect. There is always something going on at WCC so make sure to say hey to Derek and get in for a show.

Moved to Austin from New York City about a year ago and am so grateful this gallery is here! The most eclectic modern and contemporary art gallery. They throw great parties and the staff (particularly Irfan and Zyra (sp?) are warm, welcoming and friendly whether you are buying art or just spending an afternoon looking. Love this place :)

My goodness. Where to start? Irfan and Josie. Irfan I ve met a few times, I ve come to admire him as the most knowledgeable and passionate person there is. He has a way of pointing out the obvious by helping you get there yourself. You all of a sudden understand the artist and can appreciate their hard work so much more. He then will let you sit back and awe without a word, let you linger into the lust of the art and silence. I fell in love with a piece picked out with my friend Irfan. As a horribly frugal person, I ve never felt more confident investing in a product in my lifetime, which should speak volumes to Irfan. Finally, Josie. As you d imagine I have tons of small whatever pieces, but nothing like this. She was an absolute JOY to have in my home. She s extremely genuine, detail oriented and diligent. She never judged me for my old poor hole marks, handled the piece with extreme care, and set it up flawlessly. I wholeheartedly trust these two and look forward to working with them specifically, but WCC generally ASAP! I d recommend them to you, but then everyone would know my secret, keep this between us would you? Thank you Irfan, Josie, and WCC for the love of my life- my new original Connor brothers

I have nothing but wonderful things to say not only about Irfan Ishaq but my experience with purchasing my first piece of art work at West Chelsea Contemporary. I knew exactly what I wanted and spoke to Irfan on the phone in order to locate the piece. Irfarn greeted me as soon as I walked in the door moments later and knew exactly who I was. Irfan is knowledgeable about the pieces, professional and personable. I would highly recommend Irfan to anyone, whether youre purchasing your first piece of art or and curious about the artist. I will be returning and purchasing more artwork in the near future with Irfan Ishaq. Thank you !

I have very much enjoyed working with WCC. I have used them in three main capacities. First, custom framing jobs for prints. They have done three projects for me, with different types of glass and frames. In all cases they listened to my goals and provided me with the best options. Ive been very happy with their support and pricing. Second, I purchased my first original piece from them. It was a bigger investment and my art consultant treated me with patience and empathy as a made the decision. I have zero buyers remorse and absolutely love the piece. They also came to my house and helped me hang it! Not only that, but they helped me hand multiple art works while here. They went above and beyond. Third, social events. I have gone to several shows/events now and I appreciate my art consultant inviting me. They are always fun.

As a gallery at its scale, WCC is successful with its strong art collection and thoughtful planning.

My husband and I recently moved to Austin and love to visit the WCC gallery on weekends! There are always amazing new pieces and the staff are very helpful and accommodating. The first day we went, we met Irfan, who invited us to an artist talk that week and gave us the inside scoop on WCC pieces and artists. Now every time we go Irfan always greets us and tells us about the latest pieces. We love popping in and being able to see beautiful and striking art in person as opposed to scrolling through Instagram or websites. I wouldn t pass this up!

I recently went looking around Austin to make my first significant art purchase. I didnt know what I was looking for, but WCC was the right place for me to find it. While my own tastes are fairly narrow, I found many works that I could imagine living with in my home for the rest of my life, including the one I ultimately did purchase. Irfan Ishaq was a great guide through the gallerys inventory and was able to answer my innumerable questions, giving me the history of many pieces and artists, as well as offering advice on the workings of the art market and upcoming events at the gallery. I look forward to many returns to the gallery and keeping up with the news of the contemporary art scene.

I can t say enough great things about West Chelsea Contemporary and specifically working with Irfan. This was our first time purchasing real art and Irfan supported us through the almost 6 month long journey before we finally made the decision. Irfan carefully understood our requirements and budget before providing us several options. The options provided were so good which made the decision very difficult. Nevertheless, the beautiful piece now sits in our dining room and we can t wait to go back and purchase our next piece.

Came here on a Monday afternoon with my friend who was visiting from Chicago. We realized pretty soon though that we came as they had just closed up their most recent exhibition. Luckily for us Irfan was in and gave us a sneak peak of what was coming up. I m used to art galleries mostly ignoring me, thinking that since I m not someone who would have the means of purchasing thousands of dollars but it was different here. Irfan personally talked to us about some of the pieces and invited us to the debut of their next showcase. 5 stars for excellent inclusive and welcoming service and for how knowledgeable and friendly everyone was.
