Philip Allen began his art career in Chicago in 1989. In 1993 he began exhibiting the artwork of Robert Kipniss at the Hexton Gallery in New York City, which led to four sold out, one man shows. From 1999 to 2006, Allen was managing director of the Weinstein Gallery in San Francisco, where he hosted multiple solo Kipniss exhibitions, created significant catalogues, and participated in several major publications about the artist's prints, paintings, and drawings. In that period of time and afterward, Weinstein Gallery sold many millions of dollars of Kipniss's work.
