LONDON.- MacDougall's announced the opening of a gallery specializing in Russian art at its London premises. Located right in the centre of the capital, MacDougall’s Gallery will open its doors to the public throughout the year and will run in parallel with regular auction operations. The gallery will serve as a dynamic platform for bringing together sellers, collectors and lovers of Russian art, who want to enjoy and buy it, learn and discuss it.

With over twelve years of successful experience in Russian art sales at MacDougall’s biannual and specialised auctions, MacDougall’s Gallery will further promote sales of Russian art outside the established London Russian art auction seasons in June and November. The gallery will capitalise on MacDougall’s extensive knowledge of the Russian art market and its profound connections with sellers and collectors alike. The gallery will have a large selection of works in its selling exhibitions, ranging from 19th and early 20th century to Soviet Realist and Nonconformist art, as well as Russian icons and works of art, which will be offered at a broad range of prices. The recent surge in demand to purchase works privately, will allow to satisfy the desire of our clients to find valuable additions to their collections at any time of the year.

MacDougall’s Gallery is uniquely positioned to become the centre for promotion of Russian art and culture in London through a varied programme of specialised exhibitions, lectures, screenings and other events.

Catherine MacDougall, Director, said "As a leading specialist in Russian art, MacDougall’s Gallery will highlight the broader cultural dimension and importance of Russian art, and establish itself as the principal centre for Russian art and culture in London."
