Richard Green

What Richard Green does

Richard Green is a family-run fine art gallery established in 1955 in London, now operating across four generations under CEO Jonathan Green. The business is headquartered at 147 New Bond Street in Mayfair with a second London gallery and a registered group comprising five UK private limited entities (including Richard Green Master Paintings Limited and Richard Green & Sons Limited). Its core offering is the sale and exhibition of fine paintings spanning the 17th to 21st centuries, covering Old Masters, Impressionist, Modern British, European, and Modern works, with a recent extension into sculpture (Henry Moore maquettes). The company serves two primary customer segments: high-net-worth private collectors seeking expert advisory on building collections, and museums and public collections undertaking major acquisitions, with documented placements at LACMA and the Art Gallery of South Australia.

The underlying technology stack is deliberately lightweight and commodity-based: an e-commerce website with account registration and Stripe-integrated checkout for select works, Mailchimp for newsletter marketing, and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. There is no proprietary platform, app, or API. The distribution model is multi-channel, combining two physical Mayfair galleries (open Monday-Friday 10am-5:30pm, Saturday by appointment), annual participation in five major international art fairs (TEFAF Maastricht, TEFAF New York, Frieze Masters, The Winter Show, Treasure House Fair), an online storefront for select works, and a channel partnership with Artsy for prospective client lead generation.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time artwork sales, supplemented by professional services including transport logistics (UK packing, international export documentation, fine art shipping) and pre-purchase advisory. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with payment accepted via bank transfer, cheque, VISA, MasterCard, and China UnionPay. The operational model is high-touch, consultative, and relationship-driven, with provenance research, conservator condition assessment, and scholarly authentication forming the core value proposition. Staff headcount is fewer than 25, with the majority having served the business for over 20 years, underscoring the long-term relationship model underpinning revenue.
