Albemarle Gallery

Albemarle Gallery was an art gallery located in Mayfair, London. The gallery opened in 1986 and featured figurative to hyper-realist artwork by local and international contemporary painters and sculptors. This gallery closed in 1993. In 1996, Tony Pontone opened the Albemarle Gallery located at 49 Albemarle Street; this gallery had no association with Glazebrook's Albemarle Gallery on Piccadilly.[1][2] In 2017, Tony Pontone's Albemarle Gallery moved from Albemarle Street in Mayfair to Cadogan Gardens in Chelsea.

History

In 1986, Mark Glazebrook, a private art dealer with an interest in modern British painting and drawing opened Albemarle Gallery on Piccadilly.[3] The gallery featured over 100 artists in its first three and a half years.[4] The gallery closed in 1993. Glazebrook died in 2009.[5]

In 1996, Tony Pontone, a London-based art dealer, opened a gallery at 49 Albemarle St, using the name Albemarle Gallery to reference the gallery's physical location. In 2017, the Albemarle Gallery moved from Albemarle Street to Cadogan Gardens in Chelsea, where the Albemarle Gallery continues to exhibit in the same space as Pontone Gallery, a contemporary art gallery directed by Tony Pontone's son, Domenic Pontone.[6][7]

Artists who have exhibited at the gallery include Daniele Cestari and Maxwell Doig.[8][9]
