First founded in 1863 by such visionaries as Charles Dickens and Anthony Trollope, with famous members including Verdi, Monet and Whistler, The Arts Club in London’s new owners had both a love of tradition and a keen desire to innovate when they began their extensive renovation in 2010. We worked closely with the owners, designers, architects and history of the club to acquire and commission works from established to emerging artists, such as Albert Oehlen, Tomas Saraceno and Anne Collier, enhancing the setting with contemporaneity in keeping with the ideas of its founders. We also instituted, and continue to curate, an ambitious, cutting-edge exhibition programme that adds dynamism to the space while supporting artists.
