The Gallery

The gallery is based in a Georgian townhouse built in 1743 in the heart of Soho. In addition to private dealing, Robert Upstone presents exhibitions devoted to Modern British and contemporary artists.

Robert Upstone

He was formerly Senior Curator at Tate Britain, where he acquired works for the national collection and curated major exhibitions and displays. During his museum career he organised exhibitions and collaborative projects with leading institutions in Britain and internationally.

Expertise

Robert served for nine years as a member of the Government's Acceptance in Lieu Panel and has advised collectors, estates, museums and institutions on acquisitions, collections and cultural property. His expertise in nineteenth- and twentieth-century British art has led to appointments as curator, adviser and valuer for private collectors, museums and public institutions.
