Established in 1993, the Robert Bowman Gallery deals in European Sculpture from the late 19th Century to the 1950’s, and we pride ourselves on being the leading dealers in works by Auguste Rodin.

In 2008, after ten years of trading from No. 8 Duke Street, St James’s, we decided to close the gallery space, catering for our clients’ preferences for a private setting. We can be contacted at Robert Bowman Modern, at no. 34 Duke Street, St James’s, however viewing of specific works is strictly by appointment.

Robert Bowman began his career in the art world at Sotheby’s, becoming Director of European Works of Art; after 15 years he left to open his own gallery. Robert is an appointed expert of the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), on behalf of the UK Government, Acceptance in Lieu Scheme, and he has been on the TEFAF Sculpture Vetting Committee for the past 15 years.

The gallery has exhibited at international art-fairs, and will, in 2008, be exhibiting for the 13th consecutive year at TEFAF Maastricht. Over the years the gallery has placed works in numerous museums and private collections world-wide. Robert is happy to consult with curators and collectors.

Robert Bowman Modern

Opened in 2006, in response to our clients increasing demand for contemporary sculpture, Robert Bowman Modern is situated at 34 Duke street; opposite the Cavendish Hotel and next-door to the famous Green’s Restaurant.

In between solo shows with our select stable of contemporary sculptors, our general exhibitions include examples by 20th century master sculptors whose work we admire, including Barbara Hepworth, Henry Moore, Archipenko, Michael Ayrton and Elizabeth Frink.

The gallery is run by Abby Hignell but Robert is often to be found in residence, and is always happy to discuss potential projects. One of the most exciting aspects of the gallery has been our extensive commissions with interior designers like Kelly Hoppen, landscape gardeners like Fisher Tomlin, yacht designers like Terence Disdale, and of course numerous private clients for homes around the globe.
