Patrick Bourne

Spear’s Review

Patrick Bourne looks to demystify the art world for a range of institutional and private clients, offering advice on market conditions, how to build up and care for collections, and the approach to take in auctions.

With expertise in British art from the 18th century to the mid-20th century, Bourne is a past chair of the Society of London Art Dealers. Clients interested in the Patrick Bourne & Co collection can mull over paintings at Bourne’s private gallery, an 18th-century townhouse in St James’s Place. The firm deploys a ‘personal, friendly and discreet’ approach to assisting clients with their collections, and is well placed to advise on auctions and private sales, as well as different strategies for developing art collections.

‘We recognise that the art market can appear opaque and complex, and we aim to make it intelligible and enjoyable,’ the firm says.
