Messum’s has long held a powerful reputation as one of the country’s leading art galleries, 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 and sculpture.

Established in 1963, David Messum continues to expand the family business with the opening of a new principal London venue in the heart of St. James’s in April 2020. The gallery, a prestigious space over two floors, will offer the chance to view works of art by 19th and 20th Century British artists, on whose names the reputation of the company was founded, together with a regularly changing exhibition program focusing on the Contemporary Artists and Artist Estates represented by David Messum.

All exhibitions are accompanied by fully illustrated catalogues with introductory forewards and articles by respected art historians and critcs. To explore the full library of books and catalogues produced by Messum's Studio Publications
