Tanya Baxter Contemporary first opened its doors in Hong Kong in 1995, where we continue to run our art consultancy office, before founding our current London gallery on the Kings Road, Chelsea, in 1998. For over fifteen years we have established a global reputation for exhibiting some of the most exciting contemporary works of art on the international stage, by both well-established blue chip artists with auction records as well as young emerging artists on the scene. We work directly with established international artists including Richard Allen, Konstantin Bessmertny, Pip Todd Warmoth, Sir Peter Blake, Zeng Chuanxing, Liu Fenghua, Sacha Jafri, Anthony Eyton, Zhao Khalin, S.H. Raza, Revati Sharma Singh, Ju Ming and Ling Jian whilst showcasing work by Yue Minjun, Marc Quinn, Andy Warhol, Banksy, Tracey Emin, Subodh Gupta, Jitish Kallat and Ai Wei Wei. Our dedication to showing great figurative art has remained strong throughout the decades.

Historically, recessions have led to a boom in the art market wherein people invest their money in tangible and alternative assets, and the past five years has seen that pattern repeat itself. Notably, the soaring prices of the most recognised international artists have astounded even the most cynical of the onlookers. In 2013 the global contemporary art market posted its first billion, generating €140 million in auction sales, 15% more than last year. In May, Christie’s also set auction history with a record total of $495,021,500 generated from its Post-War and Contemporary Art sale; a record it subsequently beat during November’s Post-War and Contemporary Art sale, with an auction total of $691.6 million. Sales of post-war and contemporary art accounted for 33.6% of the market in 2013, up from 28% in 2011.

We have significant expertise and experience in the Chinese and Indian art markets, while also working with post-war and contemporary artists internationally. The gallery has an international client list and an excellent relationship with galleries globally, as well as participating in art fairs in Hong Kong, India, Monaco, Dubai and London.
