Founded in 2007 to make buying the finest contemporary art easier and more enjoyable than ever before. We also are working in an educational role to promote photography to this end we organise touring exhibitions, workshops and talks.
Art as an investment.
Contemporary art is now the most active category in the art market .At auctions every week there is media coverage of a new world record price for a contemporary painting or a contemporary photograph. Despite this we would never advise you to buy a piece only as an investment it is always to best to buy something that appeals to you Eyelight offers the possibility to invest in contemporary art of outstanding quality and quality remains the most reliable and enduring characteristic in the art market and is the main reason why any work will hold or increase its value over time. Always buy what you like. Always buy the best example of an artist's work you can afford. In this way you will have the pleasure of owning a work of art and if it increases in value think of it as a bonus. Contemporary art compliments any home and offers the opportunity to express one's individual taste not only in the home but also in the office. Some inexpensive chain store prints in clip frames do not present the best image for a business. We are happy to offer advice on how our art could enhance your office space.
Our Guarantee to you
All the art represented by this gallery is accompanied by a certificate of authentication from the artist stating the technique used and when required the number of the edition.

Occassionaly editions may be issued in more than one size but this will always be clearly stated. Every effort is made to ensure that the artworks are presented to archival standard authenticated by the artist and the gallery.
