The gallery’s new space is 23 Dering Street where it has moved from nearby Bruton Street as a result of a rise in rent and the area’s increasing fashion profile. It is now located beneath contemporary gallery Annely Juda Fine Art and across from Bonhams.
“Bruton Street has increasingly become a high-profile destination for fashion brands, making it less suitable and less affordable for galleries,” says gallery director Peter Osborne. “Although we have traded very successfully on Bruton Street for many years it made sense for us to relocate within Mayfair to a street already well known for its galleries. The new space will allow us to continue our well-known programme of exhibitions of modern British and contemporary art.”
The inaugural exhibition, The Romantic Impulse: British Neo-Romantic Artists at Home and Abroad, runs from May 25-June 23 and features works by British painters produced between 1935 and 1959. It includes works by Henry Moore, John Piper and John Craxton. The show coincides with Annely Juda’s exhibition Sigrid Homwood: The Peasants are Revolting on the floor above.
