James Freeman Gallery - London - United Kingdom

.
Founded in 2003, the gallery originally focused on exhibiting emerging artists, providing them with a professional framework within which to develop. In December 2008 the gallery expanded and refurbished its space on Upper Street. In October 2010 the name changed to James Freeman Gallery.
 
James Freeman Gallery exhibits contemporary painting, photography and sculpture by young artists from Europe and Asia.
 
Our exhibition schedule presents a combination of curated group shows and solo exhibitions with both represented and invited artists. The focus is on presenting artists who articulate original thinking and art-historical awareness with technical and aesthetic power. We work very closely with our core stable of artists, and take an active role in helping them achieve long-term growth and success.
 
Alongside the gallery programme, we exhibit at fairs in both the UK and Asia, and work with a network of galleries, curators, and collectors to create profile-building opportunities for our artists at international level. In this respect, we have a particular focus on Asia, helping our artists to establish a presence for themselves in the important art economies of tomorrow.
 
Part of the gallery’s activity also includes discovering and nurturing artists at an early stage of their career, and providing them with a professional framework within which to develop and become established within the market. The gallery has a track record of identifying emerging talent that other galleries have shied away from, but who have then gone on to establish themselves and develop a strong market following.

Manya Igel Fine Arts - London - United Kingdom

.
Our Company specialises in Traditional Modern British art. Customer service is of great importance. The Company’s director, Manya Igel, does not have a high street gallery, much preferring to welcome clients, by appointment, to a congenial home-style environment spread throughout three Bayswater apartments. If more convenient, any painting can be viewed at Glencorse, a sister company situated in Richmond, Surrey, where in addition to paintings we have a fine selection of antique furniture. Because we are customer orientated we will deliver and hang a painting free of charge, provided it is within a fifty mile radius, and even allow clientele to ‘live’ with a painting for a day or two to see that it perfectly suits their aspirations.

Having been established successfully for some three decades, we at Manya Igel Fine Arts (MIFA) consider ourselves marketing orientated because the client is always the most important person.
It is customary for galleries offering work by contemporary painters to have them on sale or return from the artists, the gallery taking a substantial cut from the selling price. Manya Igel Fine Arts’ approach is unique in that we buy outright the majority of our contemporary paintings directly from well-known artists, most of whom are members of prestigious institutions such as the Royal Academy and the New English Art Club. This results in the company only proffering works of the very highest quality.

We are always on the lookout for aspiring, figurative artists and are very proud of our track record of discovering and nurturing new artistic talent and bringing it to the fore.

IAP Fine Art - London - United Kingdom

.
Founded originally in East London in 1994 by arts writer, curator and collector, David Tregunna, IAP Fine Art is an established contemporary fine art gallery and fine art print publisher now based in St James’s, London SW1, close to the Royal Academy. Over many years, we have liaised with and assisted several national museums in curating Chris Gollon’s solo shows (including Ferens Gallery, Huddersfield Art Gallery, Chisenhale Gallery, St Paul’s Cathedral and River & Rowing Museum). Museums and public collections have purchased Gollon’s work from us, and we have also shown at ART Chicago and various London art fairs. In 1998, we started working with Maggi Hambling, initially publishing editions of fine art prints, and more recently holding oil paintings, monotypes and watercolours.

“The gallery philosophy is a very simple one: we believe in painting. We think that in the right artist’s hands, it can have something important to say about the human condition. At its best, and in any era, great painting is exciting. It can take us somewhere we haven’t been before, provoking us into new areas of thought and feeling.”

Richard Green - London - United Kingdom

.
Richard Green is an international family business of great distinction, his two galleries are in the heart of the London art world. For three generations, Richard Green has dealt in traditional and classical Post-War paintings of the highest quality dating from the 17th through to the 21st Century.

Forming a collection of paintings is a most interesting and rewarding experience. However, art must be wisely selected with professional advice. Richard Green assists collectors to make their choices, providing the scholarly background to each painting, and advising on framing, hanging, insurance and all other aspects of collecting.

The gallery exhibits a selection of paintings from its unrivalled stock at international art fairs and maintains close contact with clients. Connoisseurs marvel at the collection of Fine Old Masters, 18th Century British, Sporting, Marine, Orientalists, French Impressionist, Victorian, European and Modern British paintings.

We pride ourselves in offering the finest quality works from our large and diverse stock. Among the leaders in our profession, we have helped form important collections for both individuals and museums.

This is an exciting time for Richard Green, as our third-generation family art firm celebrates more than fifty-five years in business and have now completed the construction our new building at 33 New Bond Street, the first purpose-built art gallery on the street since the early twentieth century.

Paintings have always been part of my life; my father James Green opened a gallery at 4 St James's Street in 1936, the year I was born. I left school at fifteen to work with him at his Bond Street Gallery (9 New Bond Street), before setting out on my own in 1955. I then joined my elder brother John, who owned a gallery in Piccadilly Arcade and in 1959 we opened the St James's Gallery in Jermyn Street. We worked together until 1964, when we went our separate ways as picture dealers, John to develop his twin interests in art and property businesses and I to open my own gallery.

The following year, together with my wife and partner Jennifer, we established our first gallery at 36 Dover Street, expanding to 44 Dover Street in 1972. As well as Old Masters and Victorian pictures, I have always had an interest in Sporting paintings. My father represented Sir Alfred Munnings in his lifetime, and the Turf and ownership of racehorses have always been an absorbing hobby for me. In 1979 we acquired a gallery at 4 New Bond Street to display Impressionist and Modern British paintings.

From the 1970s onwards, Richard Green has developed its business in Old Masters, traditional British paintings, Impressionists and Modern British masters. Our philosophy is to source paintings worldwide, buying the best examples, in the finest condition, with excellent provenance. Over the years I have been ably assisted by my sister Penny, and subsequently I have been joined by my children Jonathan, David, Matthew and Marie-Claire, who have grown up in the stimulating and challenging atmosphere of picture dealing and have applied their talents to many aspects of the business.

In 1990 my brother John joined the business, bringing to it his many years of experience in property development. The previous year we had acquired from the Throgmorton Trust the former Ackermanns gallery at 33 New Bond Street, which became our Old Master gallery under the direction of Jonathan and John. Among the highlights of exhibitions held at number 33 was The Cabinet Picture in 1999, a loan exhibition of exquisite, small-scale Dutch and Flemish works from public collections. This coincided with our sponsorship of the Richard Green Room in London's National Gallery, which displays the museum's own superb cabinet paintings. Over the years we have been very pleased to assist international museums in the development of their collections.

Richard Green opened its premises at 147 New Bond Street in 1998, after two years' complete renovation of the five storey building which had been occupied by Wildenstein since 1936, and which had once been the home of Lord Nelson. This gave us our first taste of a large architectural project, as the space was completely redesigned, with galleries over three floors. The spectacular main gallery, with its beautiful glazed ceiling, has displayed to advantage our shows of Sporting, Impressionist and Modern British paintings. The new millennium saw the rapid development of the market for the leading British artists of the twentieth century, and we have found the light, airy spaces of 147 New Bond Street ideal for showing the works of Henry Moore, William Scott, Patrick Heron, Ivon Hitchens and Frank Auerbach.

Having acquired the freehold of 33 New Bond Street in 1995, Richard Green has now taken the opportunity to redevelop the premises, creating six floors of galleries and offices. We commissioned an entirely new building, designed by George Saumarez Smith of Robert Adam Architects and brilliantly fusing modernity and tradition. The sculpture on the façade was created by the distinguished Scottish sculptor Alexander Stoddart, whose commissions include the bas-reliefs for The Queen's Gallery at Buckingham Palace.

We hold several gallery exhibitions a year, which can be viewed on our website, as well as attending international fairs, including Palm Beach; the European Fine Art and Antiques Fair, Maastricht and the Biennale, Paris.

David Gill Galleries - London - United Kingdom

.
David Gill is a pioneering gallerist of 20th Century and contemporary design. He produced some of the first furniture collections from Zaha Hadid to Mattia Bonetti and was one of the first people to show the work of artist Grayson Perry. David Gill broke new ground in championing the work of designers who have become world famous, from Marc Newson to Tom Dixon and Ron Arad. His latest gallery in St James's demonstrates the significant role he has played in changing the status and perception of contemporary design internationally.

There's a strong theatrical feel to his story. Born in Spain and educated in France and England, Gill grew up with a rich exposure to culture, arts and science. He was lucky enough to encounter teachers who recognised his precocious intelligence and encouraged his interests. 'I was always enquiring,' he says. 'I was keen to know about everything I encountered, examining things minutely and developing a keen eye.' He is now renowned as a collector with an instinctive understanding of what is best and what will appreciate in value. 'I simply know what is good,' he says. Studying History of Art in London, Gill was offered a position at Christie's before the course was even finished. He specialised in Modern Prints but was drawn to 20th Century art and design - a category which didn't really exist at the time. After leaving Christie's, he chose to travel for two and a half years. During this time he met Edward James, the renowned eccentric collector and art lover who, in turn, had been friends with Salvador Dali, Magritte, Techelitchew, masters of surrealism and many of the 20th Century 'greats'. 'After that experience I decided that I didn't want to work in a museum or gallery or auction house but to move into the commercial world and to open my own gallery.'

It is audacious for anyone to embark upon an entrepreneurial venture without previous experience and when in 1987 Gill decided to open a gallery on Fulham Road specialising in 20th Century art and design, it was viewed as a bold move. Around him were shops and galleries specialising in Georgian furniture, chintz and antiques and Gill was bringing something decidedly different. He assembled an impressive array of pieces by many top artists and introduced his collection to the market. He chose to open with the 20th Century masters but to introduce 'New Romantic' painting and work by contemporary Russian artists. He featured pieces by some of the greatest furniture makers of the twentieth century, including Eileen Gray, Jean Michel Frank and Emile-Jacques Ruhlmann and championed the work of artists and designers as diverse as Giacometti, Donald Judd, Elisabeth Garouste and Mattia Bonetti.

The new gallery was immediately greeted with great enthusiasm. 'Where have you been!' cried David Mlinaric as his car screeched to a halt outside the gallery. He became a great collector as did Jacob Rothschild, David Sylvester and Doris Saatchi. 'I met many great people very quickly,' says Gill who began to attract a circle of collectors to him, and who continue to trust his judgement implicitly. Gill has presented a diverse array of exhibitions in the Fulham Gallery, creating immersive spaces which conjured the atmosphere of the period or the subject. For one of his shows, Fifty Years of Fashion, he celebrated the glory of 1950s style by creating a couture salon. He bought a portfolio of Dior dresses and materials which he exhibited amongst mannequins. He had also collected work by Cocteau - drawings, posters, ceramics and memorabilia - and created a museum. It was cited as the 'best exhibition in London.'

By the late 1990s it was apparent that more exhibition space was needed. Gill had always hankered after a New York loft style dwelling and found a large factory space in Vauxhall which he opened in 2000, and lived in for a while. The new space made large scale collecting possible and also meant that there could be a permanent exhibition of pieces on show and to stage events. The new space had no restrictions. 'I could show the journey between historical pieces and contemporary design,' he says. Being in this new extensive space, Gill could extend his portfolio of artists and designers to represent, such as Barnaby Barford, Fredrikson Stallard and Oriel Harwood.

David Gill's new space located at 2-4 King Street is next door to Christie's on the corner of Duke Street. 'It's destiny,' says Gill, 'having worked at Christie's at the start of my career I see it as entirely fitting that I should set up my gallery there.'

Gagliardi Gallery - London - United Kingdom

.
The Gagliardi Gallery opened in 1978 and is one of the most established, long-standing contemporary galleries in London that has maintained a strong identity and continues to build and value trusted relationships with its clients.

Over the last thirty five years, the Gagliardi Gallery has served many collectors. Clients range from Princes, Sheikhs and businessmen, to those who pay monthly for a painting worth under £500. - all with one element in common; the love of art.

The gallery's aim has always been to advise clients and to offer high quality art at a good price. The gallery has retained the same mentality and goal for thirty five years, providing a personal service towards its clientele.

Today, we are one of the oldest contemporary art galleries in London, thanks to the continued support of our clients. When the gallery opened, it were surrounded by more than twenty five galleries which over the years all closed, one by one. We feel proud to have survived through three recessions and to see our clients returning time after time.

The gallery has become synonymous with quality and diversity, exhibiting a comprehensive collection of sculpture and painting, characterised by its variety. From traditional Tuscan landscapes, still-life studies and intricate portraits, to the brazenly abstract and surreal.

Located in Chelsea, this contemporary art gallery is situated in one of the most prestigious and dynamic areas of London. It has become inextricably entrenched in the buzzing cosmopolitan parade that is the Kings Road. The Gagliardi Gallery collaborates with as many as fifty artists, ranging from artists just out of art school, to established international artists, whose works are present in some of the greatest museums in the world, such as the V & A Museum, the Tate, the Museum of Art in Rio de Janeiro and the National Museum in Wales.
