Locks Gallery

Locks Gallery, a Philadelphia institution for over five decades, specializes in historically significant artists with a strong emphasis on women, including luminaries like Lynda Benglis, Louise Nevelson, and Nancy Graves. Its program prioritizes direct artist or estate collaborations, museum-quality exhibitions, and scholarly catalogs that contextualize postwar and contemporary art. Renowned in the local scene for rigorous connoisseurship and ADAA membership, it hosts provocative shows like recent surveys of Mary Corse and John Moore. Visitors are drawn to its elegant Washington Square South space for intimate encounters with abstract sculpture, painting, and drawing by blue-chip talents.
