Rex Evans Gallery

Rex Evans, a successful character actor on British and Broadway stages and in the Hollywood film industry, opened an art gallery in 1960 in partnership with Jim Weatherford. They exhibited primarily works on paper, but also represented the work of sculptor Helen Pashgian. The gallery closed in 1972, a few years after Evans’s death.
