Gladstone Gallery now represents British artist Celia Paul, known for her moody figurative paintings, in collaboration with her long-time London dealer Victoria Miro. Paintings by Paul are on view at Art Basel Paris this week, and a solo exhibition in New York is planned for 2026. The announcement comes amid growing U.S. interest in Paul’s work, following her 2018 exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art and a recent profile in The New Yorker. Her auction record was set in 2023 when Self-Portrait (2017) sold for approximately $122,700 at Christie’s London.
This representation marks a significant expansion of Paul’s market presence in the United States, where she has not had a New York gallery since a 2015 show at Gallery Met. Gladstone’s backing, combined with the visibility at Art Basel Paris, is likely to further elevate Paul’s profile and introduce her work to new collectors and institutions. The partnership also underscores the ongoing trend of major galleries collaborating across continents to support established artists with growing international demand.
