Curatorial Ethos
The gallery maintains a distinct position by focusing on traditional British art, particularly watercolours, oils, illustrations, and cartoons, while also dealing in contemporary works through represented artists like Anthony Green RA and Keith Grant. It serves collectors and institutions by providing definitive literature via exhibition catalogues and offering comprehensive services including valuation, framing, and conservation advice.
