Explore Art and Artists at Elliott Gallery
Elliott Gallery represents a varied collection of recognized modern and contemporary artists. Available works rotate regularly, so if you have a particular artist or piece in mind, contact the gallery directly to check current availability. Here’s just a brief selection of the different artists we showcase in our gallery.
Marc Chagall: Known for dreamlike color and imagery drawn from memory, folklore, and romance, Chagall’s lithographs and etchings remain a favorite entry point for collectors of 20th-century modernism.
Salvador Dalí: Dalí’s precise technique and surreal, symbol-laden imagery have made him one of the most recognizable names in modern art.
Joan Miró: Miró’s abstract, biomorphic shapes and playful color offer a lighter, more graphic counterpoint within our collection.
Rafał Olbiński: Known for dreamlike and symbol-rich compositions, Olbiński’s work appeals to collectors drawn to narrative surrealism.
Pablo Picasso: One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, Picasso continually reinvented his style throughout his career, from the somber tones of his Blue Period to the fragmented forms of Cubism.
Theo Tobiasse: A longtime favorite at Elliott Gallery, Tobiasse’s layered paintings draw on memory and Jewish folklore.
Available Paintings and Works of Art
Inventory and availability change regularly, and not every piece in the collection is listed online. If you’re looking for something specific, don’t hesitate to ask. Our gallery team can speak to a work’s medium, dimensions, condition, provenance, and framing, and whether or not it’s currently on view or available.
What to Expect When You Visit Elliott Gallery
A visit to Elliott Gallery is meant to feel welcoming and unhurried, whatever your level of art knowledge. You can browse at your own pace during regular hours, arrange a private viewing, or attend one of our much-loved gallery events and special programs to meet the artists.
We encourage you to speak with our knowledgeable staff about a specific artist, movement, or piece. When you’re ready to purchase a piece, we can talk you through placement, framing, shipping, or collecting goals.
You don’t need to be an experienced collector to walk in, look around, or ask questions. The gallery is set up for visitors at every stage, from curious first-timers to seasoned buyers. Visit us to view artwork, attend our Meet the Artists events, or attend one of our other community gatherings.

Guidance for First-time Art Buyers

Shipping Artwork Home

Plan Your Visit to Elliott Gallery
Gallery Address and Hours
Elliott Gallery is located at 221 Royal Street, New Orleans, LA 70130. Regular hours are Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Hours may vary around major holidays, so it’s worth calling ahead at (504) 523-3554 if you’re planning a visit around a holiday weekend.
Parking and Transportation
Street parking in the French Quarter is metered and limited, so it’s worth having a backup plan whether you’re driving or walking over from a nearby hotel. For general guidance on getting around the area, visit the New Orleans’ Royal Street visitor guide.
Schedule a Private Viewing
A private viewing offers dedicated time with a member of the gallery team, closer consideration of selected works, and a chance to talk through provenance, placement, framing, or shipping without the pace of a regular gallery day. It’s a good option if you’re working with specific criteria or want to view several pieces side by side before deciding.
Make Elliott Gallery Part of Your New Orleans Experience
New Orleans draws visitors for its music, food, and architecture as much as its art, and a stop at Elliott Gallery fits naturally into that broader experience. Seeing original work in person, in a Royal Street storefront that’s been part of the French Quarter’s art scene for decades, offers something browsing online can’t replicate.
