Osborne Samuel Gallery was formed in 2004 after the merger of Peter Osborne’s company Berkeley Square Gallery and the adjacent gallery, Samuel & Co. directed by Gordon Samuel. The partnership continues the specialities of both businesses, the partners having collaborated on a number of important exhibitions for many years before the merger. Peter Osborne and Gordon Samuel have been in the art business for more than 40 years. Tania Sutton became a Director of Osborne Samuel in 2012. In 2017 the gallery moved from Bruton Street to Dering Street at the top of New Bond Street in London’s Mayfair district and Matthew Bradbury, former Head of the Modern British department for 26 years, joined the gallery as Director in 2022.
