Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert

What Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert does

Hazlitt Holland-Hibbert is a privately held London-based art gallery specializing in Modern and Contemporary British art, operating from 38 Bury Street in St James's. Formed in 2002 as an independent association between the long-established Hazlitt gallery and James Holland-Hibbert, the firm represents the estates of Patrick Heron, Eduardo Paolozzi, Victor Pasmore, Richard Smith, and Euan Uglow (the latter two jointly with Frankie Rossi Art), and maintains a multi-decade curatorial relationship with the living artist Bridget Riley. Its core products are curated gallery exhibitions, primary-market sales of paintings, drawings, sculpture and prints, scholarly publications and exhibition catalogues, and participation in international art fairs (Art Basel, TEFAF New York, Frieze Masters). The gallery also operates a by-appointment office in New York's Upper East Side (17 East 76th Street) to serve North American collectors.

The business model is one-time sale of high-value artworks, supplemented by revenue from exhibition catalogues sold through an online shop. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions occur through private negotiation, and the New York office operates strictly by appointment. The customer base is a narrow set of high-net-worth private collectors and major museums/public institutions seeking museum-quality British works, served by a small team of 8 employees across sales, research, and gallery operations. Marketing relies on the gallery's own website (built on the Artlogic platform), Instagram and Facebook presence, and art fair exhibitions rather than paid digital acquisition. Underlying technology is limited to standard gallery CMS and e-commerce tooling; no proprietary platform, AI, or data infrastructure is disclosed.

The firm's strategic positioning rests on its estate mandates and curatorial track record (e.g., organizing Bridget Riley's 2023 American touring show at the Art Institute of Chicago, the Hammer Museum, and the Morgan Library). The business is unlevered, privately held, and not the subject of any disclosed funding, M&A, or institutional investment activity.
