Marlborough (Midtown)

Gallery in The Midtown area

Founded in London in 1946, Marlborough Gallery is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading contemporary art dealers. Initially embracing a new generation of post-World War II artists including Henry Moore, Francis Bacon, Graham Sutherland and Ben Nicholson, the gallery was soon selling masterpieces of the late 19th century including bronzes by Edgar Degas and paintings by Mary Cassatt, Paul Signac, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley and Auguste Renoir. By the late 1950s and early 1960s Marlborough held a string of prime exhibitions related to Expressionism and the modern German tradition. In 1960 an exhibition of new paintings by Francis Bacon proved sensational and was followed in 1961 Henry Moore’s important exhibition of stone and wood carvings. That same year saw an exhibition of work by Jackson Pollock and in 1964 an extraordinary exhibition of paintings, watercolors and drawings by Egon Schiele was held in London for the first time.
