ROWNTREE CLARK

ABOUT US

​

Rowntree Clark are consultants in 20th Century British Art, with a particular interest in 1950s and early 1960s abstract gestural painting. We bring a genuine passion for the subject, with a strong art historical bias, combined with a knowledge of the market that can be invaluable to both the experienced and first time buyer. In turn, this has given us the pleasure of helping build a series of wonderful collections, by brokering the sales of some of the great works by British artists in the 20th Century.

 

Established in 2009 by Edward Clark, we have developed a reputation for handling and presenting historically significant works of a distinct aesthetic, and uncovering the very best examples of the specific British Modernists that interest us, artists such as Peter Lanyon, Robyn Denny, Sandra Blow, Roger Hilton, Gillian Ayres, Richard Smith, Harold Cohen, Patrick Heron, Paul Feiler, Douglas Swan and William Scott.

 

Before establishing Rowntree Clark, Edward graduated from the Courtauld Institute of Art in 1998 and worked for two leading West End dealers for over a decade. We have had the experience of exhibiting at major art fairs throughout the world - including TEFAF, Maastricht; The Armory Show New York; Biennale Internazionale dell'Antiquariato di Firenze; & Biennale Internazionale di Antiquariato di Roma - and have acted as an advisor for the Arts Council England among other roles. As Rowntree Clark we are a regular exhibitor at the British Art Fair & London Art Fair.  

 

In 2014 we relocated from our St James's, Mayfair, offices to Norfolk and now operate by appointment, dividing our time between London and the North Norfolk coast.
