ART LAW PRACTICE

Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP has a strong tradition of supporting the arts. Gordon F. Hampton, one of the firm's founding partners, was a serious collector and patron of the arts, who served as a trustee of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) in Los Angeles and helped found the Fellows of Contemporary Art, a non-profit organization active in promoting and funding the work of contemporary artists. 

In 1999, The Gordon F. Hampton Collection was gifted to The University Art Museum (UAM) at California State University, Long Beach. The notable and distinctly personal collection features 89 works by 43 artists, including signature works by such artists as Al Held, Michael Goldberg, Adolph Gottlieb, Lee Krasner and Milton Resnick. The majority of the collection is exhibited in our downtown Los Angeles office, which serves as a satellite exhibition space for the UAM and the university's art outreach programs.
