William Griffin Gallery was a contemporary art gallery located in Santa Monica, California, which operated between 1997-2011. In 2011, Griffin merged with Jim Corcoran and Maggie Kayne to create a new gallery, Kayne Griffin Corcoran.
History
The gallery was established in 1997 by William Griffin. In 2003 the gallery relocated from Venice to a 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) space in Santa Monica. The gallery's newer space was located at 2902 Nebraska Avenue, adjacent to Olympic Blvd. The building was constructed during the aeronautics boom in the 1950s as a manufacturing plant for Douglas Aircraft and has 25-foot (7.6 m) ceilings and four distinct galleries.
In addition to exhibitions, William Griffin Gallery facilitated artist projects in leading museums, foundations, universities, and galleries around the world. The gallery had helped realize public art projects with artists such as James Turrell, Ai Weiwei, and Richard Long. In addition, the gallery had both independently produced and directly supported the publication of numerous artist book projects, catalogs, and monographs.

William Griffin Gallery featured solo exhibitions by James Turrell, Richard Long, Robert Rauschenberg, David Lynch, Ed Ruscha, Richard Serra, Tony Smith, Peter Wegner, Greg Colson, Liza Ryan and others.
