Plus One Gallery

What Plus One Gallery does

Plus One Gallery is a privately held London-based art gallery that has specialized in hyperrealism and photorealism since its founding in September 2001. The gallery operates from a single physical location at The Piper Building, Peterborough Road, SW6 3EF, having previously relocated from Battersea Reach (2016) and earlier still from Seymour Place. It is structured as Plus One Gallery Limited with a headcount of 1-10 employees and was founded by Maggie Bollaert, whose curatorial specialization in the photorealist genre has shaped a coherent aesthetic identity for over two decades.

The gallery's commercial activity centers on the exhibition and sale of paintings, sculptures, and drawings by a roster of living artists drawn from the UK, USA, Spain, Canada, South Korea, Portugal, Zimbabwe, and additional countries. Sales are conducted by appointment at the London premises and through an online viewing room, with VR exhibitions extending reach to remote collectors. Inventory is additionally listed on the Artnet and Artsy marketplaces, and the website is operated on the Artlogic CMS — a standard gallery-industry platform for inventory, CRM, and online presentation.

Revenue mechanics follow the conventional gallery model: the gallery takes a commission on primary and secondary market sales of artworks at price points that are not publicly disclosed, consistent with bespoke HNW transactions. No public pricing, no disclosed financials, no funding rounds, and no institutional investor signals are present in the available data. Geographic expansion has included exhibitions or outreach in Brazil, Andorra, and Germany, suggesting modest internationalization beyond the UK collector base.

Broad incumbents

• White Cube: Major global contemporary art gallery with flagship London locations. Comparable as a London-headquartered gallery with international exhibition activity, but operates at much larger scale and represents blue-chip contemporary artists across many movements.
• Gagosian: World's largest global gallery network with a major London presence. Comparable as a leading gallery representing contemporary artists with international exhibitions, but operates at a vastly different scale and breadth than Plus One Gallery's boutique specialist model.
• Marlborough Fine Art: Established London gallery with a broad program across modern and contemporary art. Comparable as a London-based fine art gallery with international reach, but operates at significantly larger scale and across multiple art categories rather than specializing in hyperrealism.
• Flowers Gallery: Long-established London gallery with contemporary and figurative art programming. Comparable as a London fine art gallery representing international artists, but with a broader curatorial mandate than Plus One Gallery's hyperrealism focus.

Direct peers

• Osborne Samuel Gallery: London gallery specializing in modern British art and contemporary realist painting. Comparable as a London-based gallery with strong representation of contemporary figurative artists, sharing a similar collector demographic and price point.
• Louis K. Meisel Gallery: Pioneering New York gallery representing photorealist artists since the movement's emergence. Highly comparable as a specialist gallery dedicated to photorealism, representing an established artist roster and serving serious collectors.
• Bernarducci Meisel Gallery: New York-based gallery specializing in photorealism and contemporary realism, exhibiting and selling works by hyperrealist and photorealist artists. Direct competitor in the same hyperrealism/photorealism niche, with a similar specialist positioning and collector base.
• Beaux Arts London: London-based gallery focused on contemporary figurative and representational art. Comparable as a specialist London gallery with a focus on figurative and realist painting, directly overlapping with Plus One Gallery's collector base.
• Hoopers Gallery: Independent London gallery with a program focused on contemporary and figurative art. Comparable as a London-based boutique gallery with a similar artist-representation model and collector base.

Others

• Artsy: Global online art marketplace connecting collectors with galleries and auctions. Comparable as a distribution channel (Plus One Gallery lists on Artsy) and as a competitive force shaping online art discovery, though Artsy is a marketplace/platform rather than a peer gallery.
