David Messum has long held a powerful reputation as one of the country’s leading British art dealers, not only a pioneer in the field of British Impressionism and the Newlyn and St Ives Schools, but also a specialist in exhibiting contemporary British art. Since David Messum opened his first gallery in 1963, the company has maintained an entrepreneurial approach to dealing and its vision is epitomised in the company’s passion for and promotion of figurative art which has formed the core of its pursuits since its founding. In addition to the St. James's gallery, David Messum has a sculpture garden at Lord’s Wood in countryside above Marlow, Buckinghamshire, open by appointment, where outdoor exhibitions of sculpture are complemented by a gallery space. The gallery has associations with many international galleries, allowing us to promote British art internationally in such places as New York, New England, Toronto, and Melbourne.
