Perspective
Roberts Projects was founded in 1999 as Roberts & Tilton by partners Bennett Roberts,[1] Julie Roberts and Jack Tilton in Los Angeles.[2] Following the death of Jack Tilton (1951– 2017),[3] the gallery changed its name to Roberts Projects on January 1, 2018.[4]
Roberts & Tilton opened its first space in 2000 at the 6150 Wilshire gallery complex located in the Miracle Mile section of LA, a focal place for viewing art in the early 2000's. From 2008 through 2022 Roberts Projects occupied a former coffee-roasting factory in Culver City.[5]
In August 2020, Roberts Projects was elected as a member of the Art Dealers Association of America.[6]
Roberts Projects relocated in January 2023 to 442 South La Brea Avenue, renovating a 10,000 square foot historic automobile showroom space that was once a Max Barish car dealership.[7] The space features four exhibition spaces, a bookshop, and a permanent site-specific space conceived by artist Betye Saar.[8]
The building was originally erected in 1948 as the Max Barish Chrysler-Plymouth dealership, "Auto Dealer to the Stars" where Fred Astaire, Lucille Ball, Cary Grant, Bob Hope and Michael Landon bought their automobiles.[9]
The architectural conversion was realized by the firm of Johnston Marklee which designed Roberts Projects' Culver City location in 2008.[10]
