Thaddaeus Ropac: Pub in Mayfair, London

Thaddaeus Ropac is a gallery, and it works like one. You come for the work. The programme leans toward established painters and sculptors, often artists whose careers have run for decades. That suits anyone who wants to see how a body of work develops, not just what is newest. Expect serious, considered shows with plenty of room around each piece. The crowd is mixed. Collectors, students and curious passers-in stand in front of the same canvas, and nobody needs a reason to be there. Go slowly. Read the wall text if there is any. Look at the scale of the works and how they sit in the room. Serious galleries like this reward a second visit. Based in W1S 4NJ.
