Among Century City’s high rises, construction sites, and eateries is a hidden gem to many: the contemporary Jonathan Novak Gallery.

The gallery, which is currently celebrating its 15th anniversary since opening in Century City, has served as a source for post-World War II and Contemporary European and American art.

“When I was deciding on the location of the art gallery, I was directed to Century City among numerous other locations, and although I was advised that it was a bit off the beaten path, Century City became the best place for business,” explained Jonathan Novak, art dealer and gallery founder. “We also have a large presence at art fairs as well as online.”

Located on the ground floor with a large outdoor plaza, Jonathan Novak Gallery provides an appealing location within the Westside vicinity.

“Visitors come from all over the world,” Novak said. “It’s a great place to come visit.”

In line with Novak’s personal passion, Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art focuses on three areas of artistic styles that developed in the post-war era: Pop Art, Photorealism, and Abstract Expressionism.

The gallery inventory is also comprised of paintings, graphics, drawings, and sculptures by artists from similar post-WWII movements like Color Field and Minimalism.

“We have a resale market for well-known, established artists,” Novak said. “This maintains the novelty aspect of the piece if it’s being resold.”

The gallery has featured and collaborated with a number of established artists, including Sam Francis, Andy Warhol, Michael Craig-Martin, Niki de Saint Phalle, Wayne Thiebaud, Julian Opie, Alexander Calder, Jean Dubuffet, Richard Diebenkom, Robert Cottingham, Robert Indiana, and Alex Katz.

The most recent exhibitionist in the gallery, Jim Dine, has been represented by Novak since 2004.

From canvas paintings to table-top sculptures, Dine has created a a multitude of works for Novak’s gallery since then. Dine’s exhibit, “A Retrospective” recently concluded on March 31.

Novak, who is also a lawyer and classical musician, was initially drawn to art by an introduction to art history course he was required to take in school at Brandeis University.

“I’m not an artist: I can’t even draw stick figures,” Novak joked. “But I love the history of modern art and I love business. My interest in art and architecture began with that introductory course.”

Novak went on to graduate from law school and serve as a business litigator while working as an art dealer in the evenings and on weekends. After five years as an attorney, Novak decided to take on an endeavor to become a full-time art dealer.

Novak is now a member of the Fine Art Dealers Association (FADA), the International Fine Print Dealers of America (IFPDA), and the Private Art Dealers of America (PADA).

The Jonathan Novak Art Gallery is open by appointment and is located at 1880 Century Park East, Suite 100, in Century City. For more information, call 310.277.4997 or visit novakart.com.
