Leslie J. Sacks established his first gallery, Les Art International in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1981. Upon emigrating to the United States, he opened Leslie Sacks Fine Art in Los Angeles in 1992, which became an important American venue specializing in fine art editions and rare works on paper by Modern, Post-War and Contemporary American and European masters. In 2007 Leslie Sacks Fine Art acquired Bobbie Greenfield Gallery in Santa Monica, California establishing this second venue as Leslie Sacks Contemporary. This space focused on editions and works on paper by Post-War and Contemporary masters and represented the Estate of Robert Motherwell (the Dedalus Foundation). The gallery further represented prominent mid-career and established Los Angeles artists. Leslie Sacks passed away in 2013. With over three-decades in the art world, his legacy now lives on through Leslie Sacks Gallery in Santa Monica carrying with it a venerable history and reputation as the gallery continues its well-established program and unrivaled Post-War and Contemporary inventory. Leslie Sacks Gallery is a member of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA) and the Art Dealers Association of California (ADAC).
