Founded in 2012 in London, Richard Saltoun Gallery specialises in Modern and Post-War art, with a particular focus on rediscovering the work of important yet under-recognised women artists. The gallery presents these artists through exhibitions at its three international locations—Dover Street in London, Via Margutta in Rome, and the Upper East Side in Manhattan—as well as online exhibitions, publications, events, and its participation in art fairs around the world.

With these global locations, Richard Saltoun Gallery serves as a vital hub for discussion, collaboration, and collecting. Since its inception, the gallery has been driven by a commitment to serving a wider purpose and is now renowned for its critically and socially engaged programme. In 2019, the gallery launched 100% Women, a year-long initiative aimed at addressing gender inequality in the art world. In 2021, it dedicated all of its exhibitions to the writings of political philosopher Hannah Arendt, through a 12-month programme designed to engage with some of the most complex socio-political issues of our time.

The gallery regularly collaborates with esteemed curators such as Eva Brioschi, Flavia Frigeri, Tamar Garb, and Catherine de Zegher to realise institutional-level exhibitions. It is widely recognised as a leader in representing women avant-garde pioneers from the 1960s and ’70s, including Eleanor Antin, Annegret Soltau, and Renate Bertlmann. The gallery also champions a younger generation of female artists, such as Silvia Giambrone and Florence Peake.

In addition to its focus on women artists, the gallery places a strong emphasis on established contemporary artists whose practices engage with the politics of migration and the complexities of diasporic identity. Artists such as Fathi Hassan, Vivienne Koorland, Everlyn Nicodemus, Berni Searle, and Jan Wade are key figures within this strand of the programme.

Richard Saltoun Gallery also preserves the legacy of artists through estate representation, including Helen Chadwick, Romany Eveleigh, Franca Maranò, Erica Rutherford, Juliana Seraphim, Jo Spence, and Barbara Levittoux-Żwiderska, among others. The gallery acts as a consultant to major museums and public institutions and advises private and corporate collections. It is dedicated to documenting the work of its artists through the production of publications and frequently hosts talks, screenings, and performances
