Ellie Blankfort started her career at the Los Angeles County Museum before opening the highly successful Ellie Blankfort Gallery in 1972 to showcase young Southern California talent. Amongst the artists she represented at that time were Lita Albuquerque, Jim Morphesis, C. B. Hunt, and Martha Alf. Eight of her gallery's artists were featured in the 1974 Whitney Biennial in New York. Since closing her gallery in 1976, she has been active as a consultant and fine art advisor to numerous private and corporate collections, and directed the art program at the Frank O. Gehry-designed Loyola Law School in the 1980s. She now devotes herself largely to her artists' advisory service, working individually with artists in guiding their studio and professional life.
