Beaux Arts London - Premier Art Gallery in Kew
Established in 1974, we have dedicated our legacy to championing British art across generations. Our journey began in St Ives with pioneering abstract artists like Ben Nicholson and Barbara Hepworth, evolving through galleries in Bath and London to our current home in Kew. We have cultivated enduring relationships with artists and their families, including the Frosts and Lanyons, while introducing new talent to the art world. Our exhibitions reflect a commitment to curatorial excellence, pairing artists with writers and critics to deepen cultural dialogue.We operate by appointment from our Kew gallery, offering clients a personalised experience with works spanning modern masters to contemporary innovators. Over five decades, we have maintained our founding ethos of accessibility, ensuring art remains a vital, living practice for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
