Gilden’s Art Gallery are delighted to present our Spring exhibition for March-May 2022, ‘Inspired by Nature’. This show focuses on the beauty of the natural world and its enduring source of inspiration for artists across many genres, movements, and periods. The exhibition is divided into three distinct sections: Flora, Fauna, and Landscapes. It comprises etchings, lithographs, screenprints, archival prints, ceramic, drawings, and paintings from twenty-six artists.
We are particularly thrilled to be offering the seven striking
largescale works from Alex Katz’s most recent edition, ‘Flowers’, published in
2021. Alongside these monumental works are important examples of the role of
landscape art in German Expressionism, such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner’s, ‘Farmer
in Mountainous Forest’, 1920 and Karl Schmidt Rottluff’s, ‘Animated Autumn
Landscape’, 1967.
We hope that you enjoy this catalogue and the exhibition
hosted in our Hampstead gallery.
We are honoured to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Gilden’s Arts in 2021. On this special occasion we have curated a selection of 40 works for 40 years, which reflect both our passions and the diversity of our collection. Gilden’s Arts was founded in 1981, by Jacob Gildor and is a family run business with his son Ofer Gildor opening Gilden’s Art Gallery in 2006 in Hampstead village. Over the past 40 years Gilden’s has brought a diverse selection of original prints and paintings to art fairs across Asia, Europe, and North America, as well as mounting frequent exhibitions in our Hampstead gallery. With art from movements such as the Ecole de Paris, Eastern European Art, International Modernism, , and American Post-War being brought to clients across the world. It has been so rewarding to assist our clients build their own collections, of which they are passionate. We were delighted that this longstanding commitment to the promotion and collection of original prints was recognised in 2019, when Gilden’s Arts was accepted to the prestigious International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA). For this particular exhibition, 40 for 40, Jacob and Ofer have shared some of their own insights into the pieces that have inspired or captivated them over these last 40 years, and along with Daniela, Diamante and Stephen, have prepared some memorable moments and anecdotes. We hope you will enjoy this exhibition and we are delighted to celebrate this important milestone with our valued clients.
Gilden’s Art Gallery are delighted to present our new exhibition “Moments in Time’. This reflective show focuses on the individual moments in time, across the history of the twentieth century, that have directly impacted the artists represented. Their names are well-known in the canon of art history, but the opportunity to place works in the context of each artist’s career and the events that surrounded the creation of individual works now has a special resonance. The selected works are either from important years of the artists’ respective careers or are directly linked to a significant moment in the lives of the artists. These works are as diverse as representing personal spaces, how artists encountered circumstances beyond their control, new landscapes, new relationships, and the impact of war.
The global pandemic has touched everyone’s lives and changed how we see our own world. In time, ‘normality’ will return, but we will each carry the impact of this period on our lives, and it will inform our future decisions as well as allow us to re-examine the past. It allows us to look again at familiar artworks and now we can connect to a perhaps a different, deeper meaning that we had not noticed before. The exhibition comprises original lithographs, etchings, woodcuts, and screenprints alongside unique works on paper by celebrated masters of 20th Century Art. A plethora of artistic movements are explored through the lens of ‘snapshots’ in time and will be available to view in our Hampstead gallery. Whilst there remain many obstacles in the world, we hope you will draw strength from the resilience of these pieces and the stories that they can tell in order to help us realise that even the pandemic will be only a moment in time.
This exhibition brings together works on paper spanning 40 years of the artist Sam Francis’ career. It includes lithographs from the important Pasadena Set, examples of the artist’s innovative processes for creating monotypes and wonderful acrylics.

Gilden’s Art Gallery are delighted to announce our latest exhibition focussing on the extensive printmaking career of Joan Miró. The exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the many collaborations between the artist and printmaking studios in France and Spain. With works from the 1950s to 1970s, we have a selection of original prints from across the media of etching and aquatint, lithography and carborundum – a technique that became synonymous with Miró. Miró was a dedicated printmaker from early in his artistic career and worked with a multitude of talented printing studios, a small selection of which will be highlighted in this exhibition. We start primarily with the two largest and most established printing houses of Twentieth Century France –Mourlot and Maeght. Further to these major and respected houses, we have original prints from Miró’s longest collaborator Robert Dutrou and a selection of etchings and lithographs from the celebrated Spanish printing houses Sala Gaspar and Polígrafa.
We do hope that you enjoy this introduction to the printing studios that Miró so enjoyed working with in order to realise his artistic visions.
Gilden’s Art Gallery is delighted to present a series of works on paper from the Modern Master, Marc Chagall (1887-1985). Taking inspiration from the artist’s own biography, “Mein Leben” [My Life], started in 1911 and completed in 1922, the exhibition expands upon the major themes in the artist’s colourful life
Gilden’s Art Gallery is delighted to present Joie de vivre – an exhibition celebrating the joys of living through the medium of entertainment. Focussing on the changing sources of amusement throughout the 20th Century. We are pleased to present an eclectic selection of works on paper comprising original prints, paintings and drawings across six main themes from more than forty artists. We begin by exploring the role of music and musicians as a source of inspiration to many diverse artists of the 20th Century. Music is naturally followed by the power of dance and the celebration of movement. The enthusiasm for both music and dance are brought together in the burgeoning nightlife of cabaret clubs, music halls and bars. Aside from the bright lights of the city, the seasonal thrill of the travelling circus and its performers enthral all generations. The itinerant big top and its retinue of circus troupes move to another arena spectacular – the bullfight. Exhilarating battles between man and beast play out to the wishes of the audience. Finally, we observe the more genteel and relaxing past times of sports and leisure.
Gilden’s Art Gallery is delighted to present our new exhibition – Italy Uncovered – offering a survey of both the major Italian art movements and those which are lesser known. We begin our focus on the most celebrated movement of Italian twentieth-century art – Futurism. This involved the exploration of not only motion but also the rapidly advancing industrialization of the world.
This leads to a diverse exploration of Metaphysical Art and Surrealism, which were two movements undertaken in the same period between the World Wars.
Like much of the wider western world the decades following the Second World War also saw Italian artists looking outside of their national sphere and embracing international movements. We are pleased to show a number of works belonging to the International movements of Abstraction and Minimalism.
One of the unique qualities of the Italian artistic movements of the twentieth century is that there is no one dominant region or centre for creativity, but rather pockets of innovation, schools of thought and manifestos that emerged from right across the country.
We hold three to four exhibitions each year in the field of Modern Masters works on paper and original prints. We have an on-going commitment to promote Modern Masters and are delighted to be able to offer free entrance to the public to all our exhibitions. Please join our newsletter if you would like to be invited to our events!
