Alan Cristea Gallery
Founded in 1995 Alan Cristea Gallery is a commercial art gallery on London's Pall Mall. The gallery is the primary representative for a number of renowned contemporary artists, artists’ estates and emerging artists, and is one of the world’s leading publishers of original contemporary prints and editions.
History
Previously a director of Waddington Galleries, Alan Cristea bought Waddington Graphics in 1995. In 2007, the gallery expanded its premises from its original location at 31 Cork Street, to include 34 Cork Street. Having expanded considerably over the past 21 years, in October 2016 the gallery moved to new, larger, bespoke premises, better suited to the representation of the gallery’s growing roster of celebrated and international artists.
Alan Cristea is the Treasurer of the Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD) and his co-director, David Cleaton-Roberts, is vice-President of the International Fine Print Dealers Association (IFPDA).
