Messum's

Messum's is one of the best known art galleries in Cork Street, Mayfair, a street with a concentration of art galleries in London, England. It was founded by David Messum in 1963 ^[1]. The gallery exhibits British Impressionist, modern and traditional paintings, as well as contemporary art.

Notable artists whose work has been exhibited at the gallery include William Bowyer, Peter Brown, Derek Gardner, Kurt Jackson ^[2], Edward Piper, John Piper ^[3] and Julian Trevelyan.

Founded by David Messum in 1963, Messum's have been Fine Art dealers for over 40 years; a family firm offering professional expertise and an individual service in the acquisition of fine art. The gallery is renowned for its eye in British painting from the last two centuries, and in particular for pioneering the reappraisal of British Impressionist painters. A series of ground-breaking catalogues in the 1980s culminated in the publication of “British Impressionism, A Garden of Bright Images”, the first overview of the impressionist tradition in Britain. This spirit of discovery continues and the company publishes biannually on its recent acquisitions and research to aid and enlighten the collector.

The gallery also represents some of this country's strongest figurative artists working today and promotes a tradition of fine painting that it sees as the backbone to British art through the centuries. Exhibitions of contemporary artists are almost always on view at our Cork Street gallery, and there are around 10 in the year, each accompanied by a fully illustrated and authoritative catalogue.

The company attends the major Art Fairs in England and in America, and is a member of BADA, SLAD and LAPADA trade affiliations.
