Fine Art Society

The Fine Art Society is one of the world's oldest art galleries with offices in London and Edinburgh. The company specializes in British art and design from the 17th to the 21st century and has since its founding in 1876 based in New Bond Street in London 148.

The gallery in New Bond Street was completely renovated in 2004-2005 and supplemented by the New Gallery, will be exhibited in the works of contemporary artists. The Bourne Fine Art, Edinburgh was established in 1978 and is the leading gallery in Scottish art from 1650 to the present. Both galleries combine their permanent exhibitions with changing exhibitions and trade fairs in Dubai, New York City, Hong Kong, Maastricht and London.

The company was a pioneer in the idea of ​​a one-man exhibition in the 19th century. The most arousing sensation of this kind was in 1883, the exhibition of James McNeill Whistler's Venetian etchings entitled An Arrangement in White and Yellow. The grant, received the Whistler through this exhibition after the confrontation with art critic John Ruskin, offset the Fine Art Society, financially supported by Ruskin at the exhibition of his collection of Turner watercolors. 1888 Thomas Cooper Gotch presented, William Ayerst Ingram and Alfred East together from their works.

The Fine Art Society made ​​by appropriate exhibits a significant contribution to the revival of interest in the beginnings of the New English Art Club, the Glasgow School, the Birmingham Group, the Scottish Colourists, aestheticism, the Arts and Crafts Movement, the design of the inter-war period and the postwar period. Today the Fine Art Society works sold from previous exhibitions as Second Hand Art and promotes new directions in contemporary art.
