About Us

This site is the online home of the Weir Gallery of Berkeley California which from 1987 to 1995 provided a unique art environment, bringing together local artists, known and unknown, to meet their public and to savor the occasion with champagne, poetry and music.

Weir Gallery is best known for our association with Jerry Garcia. Roberta Weir assisted Jerry in every aspect of his visual art, from drawing sessions to etching instruction, creating editions and designing his exhibits. We are the foremost expert in his work and his signature.

In addition to events and exhibits, the gallery maintained an inventory of etchings and stone lithographs by Rembrandt, Escher, Whistler, Palmer, and French masters such as Vuillard, Bonnard, Millet and Redon. We continue to buy and sell original art and prints based on our own interests and the requests of clients.
