Janet Rady Fine Art

What Janet Rady Fine Art does

Janet Rady Fine Art is a privately held contemporary art gallery and consultancy founded in 2007 and headquartered at Somerset House in London, with a regional office in Dubai. The gallery represents over 200 emerging and mid-career international artists across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas, offering original paintings, sculptures, ceramics, works on paper, prints, and mixed media pieces. The founder, Janet Rady, also serves as specialist and head of the Modern and Contemporary African and Middle Eastern Art department at Olympia Auctions, a role she has held since 2013, giving the business a foothold in the secondary market alongside its primary gallery activity.

The company's core offering is the curation, exhibition, and sale of contemporary artworks, supported by a WooCommerce-based e-commerce site, viewing rooms on Artsy and 1stDibs, and physical exhibitions in London and Dubai. Artwork prices range from approximately £285 to over £60,000, with most paintings priced between £1,000 and £10,000, and the business also offers dedicated art advisory services. Distribution combines direct gallery sales, online checkout, participation in art fairs including London Art Fair and Art Dubai, and a separate auction channel through Olympia Auctions.

Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time artwork sales (primary market), transaction-fee commissions on auction sales routed through Olympia Auctions, and professional-services fees from art advisory engagements. The target customer base is primarily private high-net-worth collectors, with a secondary focus on corporate collectors building collections for offices, hospitality, and investment. The gallery accepts major card networks and PayPal, ships internationally with a £200 flat-rate for standard orders, and uses an omnichannel marketing approach spanning its own site, social media, email, and external marketplaces. There is no public listing, no venture or institutional investment, and no disclosed revenue, consistent with a founder-owned, independently operated boutique business.

Broad incumbents

• White Cube: Major London-headquartered contemporary gallery with global outposts. Sets the upper-bound of the contemporary gallery model and competes for blue-chip collector attention that Janet Rady also targets at the top of its price range.
• Sotheby's: Global auction house with a long-standing Modern and Contemporary Middle Eastern Art department. Overlaps with Janet Rady's auction business in serving collectors of modern Egyptian, Levantine, and Gulf art.
• Bonhams: International auction house active in modern and contemporary Middle Eastern art. Comparable auction-side overlap with Janet Rady's role at Olympia Auctions, especially for secondary-market sales.
• Christie's: Global auction house with a dedicated Middle Eastern modern and contemporary art department. Competes for the same HNW collectors and auction consignments, though at a much larger scale and with a broader portfolio.
• Hauser & Wirth: Global contemporary gallery with locations including London and a broad emerging-to-blue-chip artist roster. Comparable as a premium contemporary gallery competitor in London and at international fairs.

Others

• Artsy: Online art marketplace and viewing-room platform where Janet Rady Fine Art already hosts viewing rooms. Not a direct competitor but a critical distribution and discovery layer for the gallery.
• 1stDibs: Online marketplace for premium art and design where the gallery lists works. Serves as a sales and visibility channel reaching HNW collectors internationally, rather than a direct competitor.

Direct peers

• Lawrie Shabibi: Dubai-based contemporary gallery focused on artists from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Comparable emerging-to-mid-careern positioning, similar price ladder, and participation in the same regional art fairs.
• Leila Heller Gallery: New York and Dubai gallery representing established and mid-careern artists from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Highly comparable to Janet Rady Fine Art in geographic positioning, emerging-to-mid-career artist focus, and dual-city footprint.
• Ayyam Gallery: Leading Dubai and London-based gallery specializing in contemporary Middle Eastern art, with a parallel auction house (Ayyam Auctions). Direct overlap with Janet Rady Fine Art in artist base, regional focus, and auction/gallery dual model.
