MacConnal-Mason - London - United Kingdom

.
The MacConnal-Mason family have now been established as art dealers for over one hundred and fifteen years, and I felt that many of our clients might find it interesting to know something of the heritage that we enjoy.

The family involvement commenced in 1893 when my Great Uncle, Rayner MacConnal formed a partnership with Archibald Phillips founding a company called Phillips & MacConnal. The head office was in the Burlington Arcade, London with a branch in Bournemouth and The Art Gallery at the Gleneagles Hotel, Perthshire. Phillips & MacConnal went on to also open a branch in Liverpool at Castle Street.

Between the two World Wars Phillips died and the company was then carried on by Rayner MacConnal and the name changed accordingly. In 1935 my father Leslie MacConnal-Mason and Rayner MacConnal’s son Joseph MacConnal joined the company and traded from the main gallery at 3 Old Bond Street with a branch in Harrogate called the Grosvenor Galleries.

During the Second World War my father was an Officer in the Royal Navy stationed at Scapa Flow and Largs in Scotland and Joseph MacConnal enlisted in the Royal Air Force. The business continued to run from Harrogate throughout the War during which Rayner MacConnal died. After the War as we had not occupied the Old Bond Street premises we lost our entitlement to reclaim them to continue our business in accordance with the law at that time.

My father Leslie MacConnal-Mason managed to acquire a lease in Duke Street, St. James’s from the renowned society hostess Rosa Lewis who was the owner of the old Cavendish Hotel. My father and Joseph MacConnal continued to trade from 19 Duke Street, St. James’s and the Grosvenor Galleries in Harrogate until in 1955 when they closed the Harrogate branch.

After leaving Highgate School in 1956 at seventeen years of age I joined my father and my Uncle Joseph MacConnal for a period of two years when my father dissolved the Rayner MacConnal partnership and we formed the MacConnal-Mason Gallery.

As the Cavendish Hotel was to be pulled down in 1959 we purchased the freehold of 14 Duke Street, St. James’s. In 1970 my father Leslie MacConnal-Mason died. In 1995 after a period of sustained growth I acquired the freehold of our flagship building 17 Duke Street. Between the two buildings we enjoy gallery space on eight floors.

My son David M. Mason, who is the fourth generation in the business, joined the Company in 1985 and has played a major part in its expansion. We look forward to future generations joining the business.

David L. Mason O.B.E. Chairman

Ordovas - London - United Kingdom

.
Ordovas is a private gallery dealing in the best of 20th century and contemporary art with a museum-quality exhibition programme. Focusing on international private sales, it offers maximum discretion, confidentiality, art historical proficiency and unequalled access to both public and private collections to help collectors navigate the art world.

Ordovas is founded on a commitment and passion for art and grounded in fifteen years of specialist experience. It offers collectors, both established and new, a solid combination of expertise, integrity and unparalleled sales experience.

Even for those with art knowledge, particularly those who seek to look beyond their own area of focus, aspects of the art market can be opaque and difficult to penetrate. Ordovas, in the spirit of its founder, seeks to minimise this, aiming to make appreciation and collecting of great art as fulfilling, enjoyable and rewarding a process as possible.

Targeted placement and the private sale process is a strong alternative to the auction room, especially in times of market uncertainty, and allows our collectors to maximise returns with minimum risk. Many high profile vendors prefer the discreet environment of a private sale. Similarly, many high level purchasers prefer absolute privacy. As a private gallery whose founder has many years in successful art assets management, we are proud to offer carefully nuanced, sophisticated marketing strategies tailored to the individual interests of collectors.

jaggedart - London - United Kingdom

.
jaggedart is known for its unique and very definite style. Since its inception ten years ago the gallery has become renowned for showcasing beautiful, quirky yet sophisticated works of art.

The gallery promotes up and coming artists through a varied programme of exhibitions which include painting, photography, works on paper and 3 dimensional pieces. Our programme varies between themed shows and solo exhibitions. Artists are invited to use the space in a dynamic way, creating site specific installations in the gallery and large shop frontage.

The artists' intense involvement with the creative process, always evident, results in remarkably stimulating pieces.

Although they work in traditional media, jaggedart artists use materials in innovative ways: books, maps, audio tape, cement, textiles and embroidery thread are examples. The works offer a poetic perspective on the familiar, a new life for the discarded, re-discovering a forgotten elegance.
jaggedart works appeal both to new and experienced collectors. Our clients include museums, public collections, interior designers and hotels.

The gallery is situated off Marylebone High Street in central London, renowned for its individual businesses and this idea is reflected in the style of jaggedart.

jaggedart.com was launched on 12 february 2002.

Orel Art UK - London - United Kingdom

.
Orel Art launched its London premises in an impressive 350sqm space at 7 Howick Place,London SW1.

An expansion from the Paris-based gallery and a major addition to the London art market,
Orel Art is primarily devoted to bringing contemporary Russian art to a wider western audience.
The gallery also provides a fresh platform for topically engaged international artists to implement
inventive and challenging site-specific projects.

Director Ilona Orel, operating from Paris, has played an instrumental role in raising the profile
 of Russia’s most significant contemporary and emerging artists through a series of acclaimed
exhibitions. Founded in 2001, the pioneering space supported the careers of Andrei Molodkin,
 Valery Koshlyakov, Vladimir Dubossarsky and Alexander Vinogradov, Georgy Gurianov,
Komar & Melamid and Olga Tobreluts, alongside emerging artists including Dasha Fursey
and Chtak. Daughter of an artist and former student of the Moscow School of Painting,
Sculpture and Architecture, Orel’s experimental ethos is informed by her direct experience of
the challenges faced by young artists. Orel is acutely aware of the pre-eminence of visual
culture in contemporary society and strives to promote artists who address current affairs and
globalized problems with exceptional aesthetic prowess.

Looking beyond internal curatorial projects, Ilona Orel has fostered successful collaborations
with established European museums, including the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, the State
 Russian Museum in St Petersburg and MACRO in Rome. Her stable of artists has entered
the prestigious collections of the Pompidou Centre in Paris, the Guggenheim Museum in New York
 and Bilbao, the Martin-Gropius Bau in Berlin and the MAK Museum in Vienna, amongst others.

Today, under Orel’s distinctive direction, the Howick Place gallery is set to deliver an outstanding
programme of solo exhibitions and group shows, bringing together Russian contemporary
artists, established curators and international figures such as Raffaella Nappo, Stephen Shanabrook,
Rupert Shrive.

.
Simon Lee Gallery was founded in 2002 in Mayfair, London. It represents artists of diverse generations from Europe and the USA, whose practices range from sculpture and painting to video and photography, sharing a broad interest in an exploration of the conceptual.

Aiming to provide a significant British and international audience to its artists, the gallery also regularly punctuates its programme with historical exhibitions and curated group shows. This gives us the opportunity to present shifts in contemporary art practice and thought, whilst broadening the dialogue with artists outside of the gallery programme. These projects combined with the gallery programme further the commitment to a discourse on art and culture in the London context.

The gallery publishes catalogues and artist monographs and collaborates with museums and other commercial galleries to give its artists exposure outside London and provide them a rigorous context to be viewed.

In addition to its UK activity, the gallery has been building a presence in Hong Kong and has now opened a space in the Pedder Building in order to introduce gallery artists to a wider public in Hong Kong and Asia.

Tanya Baxter Contemporary - London - United Kingdom

.
Tanya Baxter Contemporary first opened its doors in Hong Kong in 1995, where we continue to run our art consultancy office, before founding our current London gallery on the Kings Road, Chelsea, in 1998. For over fifteen years we have established a global reputation for exhibiting some of the most exciting contemporary works of art on the international stage, by both well-established blue chip artists with auction records as well as young emerging artists on the scene. We work directly with established international artists including Richard Allen, Konstantin Bessmertny, Pip Todd Warmoth, Sir Peter Blake, Zeng Chuanxing, Liu Fenghua, Sacha Jafri, Anthony Eyton, Zhao Khalin, S.H. Raza, Revati Sharma Singh, Ju Ming and Ling Jian whilst showcasing work by Yue Minjun, Marc Quinn, Andy Warhol, Banksy, Tracey Emin, Subodh Gupta, Jitish Kallat and Ai Wei Wei. Our dedication to showing great figurative art has remained strong throughout the decades.

The gallery also has an art advisory service in London, which works in collaboration with our Hong Kong office on art projects around the world and advises on building corporate and private collections of contemporary art. Our experience and expertise in the International art market combined with our stable of much sought after and successful artists make us a very safe and dependable place to seek advice and enter the exciting world of contemporary art. We have built a number of collections with banks and institutions such as Standard Chartered, ABN Amro and Barclay’s, five star hotels such as Mandarin Oriental Group, and many private collectors of blue-chip works.

The Financial Times recently asserted that ‘2012 was notable for the continuing strength of the market for post-war and contemporary art, with a bias towards the “blue-chip” end. Impressionist and modern art, once the bedrock of the market, is being edged out by contemporary.’ Sales of post-war and contemporary art accounted for 33% of the market in 2012, with sales of just over $3bn, up from 28% in 2011.

We have significant expertise and experience in the Chinese and Indian art markets, while also working with post-war and contemporary artists internationally. The gallery has an international client list and an excellent relationship with galleries globally, as well as participating in art fairs in Hong Kong, India, Monaco, Dubai and London.
