The Nine British Art, Art gallery in St James's, London, England
The Nine British Art is an art gallery in St James's in London that focuses on contemporary artworks and sculptures by British artists, with emphasis on post-war creations and works from the St Ives group. The space displays a curated selection from these movements within its interior.
The gallery was founded in 1977 as Paisnel Gallery on Fulham Road and moved to Mason's Yard in the 1990s. It was renamed The Nine British Art in 2018, referencing its previous address before relocating to its current location.
The gallery displays works by artists such as Trevor Bell, Sandra Blow, and Frank Bowling who played important roles in British post-war art. Visitors can see sculptures and paintings from the St Ives group, an influential artistic movement whose creations shape the interior space.
The gallery sits in central London and participates in major art fairs like the London Art Fair. The best way to explore is to check current exhibitions and allow adequate time to view the works, as the collections are carefully arranged.
The name comes from the previous address on Bury Street, where the gallery was located at that number. This naming choice preserves the memory of the earlier location and reflects the gallery's own story.
