The Redfern Gallery (established 1923) is one of the oldest British art galleries specialising in contemporary British art. The gallery was founded by Arthur Knyvett-Lee and Anthony Maxtone Graham on the top floor of Redfern House, 27 Old Bond Street, London, as an artists' cooperative. In 1936 the gallery moved to 20 Cork Street, London.[1]

Early exhibitions

In 1924 the gallery displayed the student work of Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth, and in 1929, the first exhibition of British linocuts featuring work by Cyril Edward Power, Sybil Andrews, and Claude Flight.[1]

Recent exhibitions

In early 2014, the gallery held a retrospective of British pop art artist Brian Rice.[2]
