gladstone gallery celia paul art basel paris

Gladstone Gallery now represents British painter Celia Paul, known for her moody figurative works drawn from her life. Paintings by Paul are on view at Art Basel Paris this week, and the gallery plans a solo New York exhibition in 2026. Paul has long been represented by Victoria Miro in London but lacked a New York gallery presence since a 2015 show at Gallery Met. Her market has grown following a 2018 exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art and a recent profile in The New Yorker by Karl Ove Knausgaard. Her auction record was set in 2023 when Self-Portrait (2017) sold for $122,700 at Christie’s London.
