Benjaman's Art Gallery
, in business for 37 years, has specialized in offering fine art and conservation framing. The vast collection of art ranges from antique paintings to the contemporary. Serious collectors as well as first-time art buyers will be basked with master works, and works on paper as well as posters.

Located in the art district of the upbeat Elmwood Strip, between downtown Buffalo and the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and just a stones throw away from Children's Hospital. The gallery is housed in a historic Victorian mansion. The details of the building itself, from the handcarved wood moulding, to the stained glass windows and many turrets are an enjoyable architectural experience.

Gallery viewing rooms are comfortable in living room-like settings. A perfect stage for the numerous one person shows we have held for artists of international acclaim such as Peter Max, Frederick Hart, Erte, Robert Blair, Romero Britto, Michel Delacroix and Frank Gallo (just to name a few). The Gallery is an archive of many Regionalist Masters such as Alexander Levy, Virginia Cuthbert, Arthur Lindberg, Milton Ragovin, and Joseph Varga.


Offering friendly, personal service and an extensive library, Benjaman's Art Gallery is happy to work with families looking to enhance their homes, experienced collectors building investment-quality art collections and business professionals completing office spaces. Commissioned art and installations can be done by professional artists on staff. Commission an artist on the staff to create an abstract, a portrait of your family, pets, house, garden, landscape or cityscape. The gallery is fully insured with a qualifed staff with numerous degrees in art and education.

For the collector who appreciates the extraordinary accuracy, detail and mood in the world of railroad art, we are pleased to present the work of Larry Fisher, one of America's finest railroad artists. Benjamans has the exclusive lithograph edition of the New York central train terminal. A Buffalo landmark near the Broadway market.

The quantity of "DIGGING OUT OF BUFFALO" is very low. "MIDNIGHT IN BUFFALO" is sold out and the quantity is very very low. Both are limited to an edition of 500. They both measure 20 by 30 inches framed. Your frame choice! Please call or email to reserve your copy today! DONT MISS THE TRAIN!!!

Larry Fisher's interest in trains goes back as far as he can remember. Born into a railroad family, young Fisher's father was a Soo Line conductor for more than 30 years. Larry would create his own artwork of nearby railroad scenes from his hometown of Harvey, North Dakota. After high school and a hitch in the Air Force, Fisher joined the staff on KTHI-TV in Fargo as a cameraman and set designer which led to his current job as art director at KTNV-TV in Las Vegas. Artist Fisher shares his Nevada home with his family. Although Fisher's interest in trains spans his lifetime, Larry did not take railroad painting seriously until fairly recently. Larry's big break came when he was asked to do a front cover painting for the nationally distributed magazine Railfan and Railroad. His March 1981 cover of union Pacific's DDA40X "Centennial" led to other magazine and dust jacket credits. More recently, his works graced both the front and back covers of the Soo Line's own special centennial publication, and three of his winter railroad scenes were featured in an edition of the prestigious TRAINS magazine.
