Bernard Jacobson Gallery was founded in 1969, publishing and distributing prints by artists including Robyn Denny, Lucian Freud, David Hockney, Leon Kossoff, Henry Moore, Richard Smith, Ed Ruscha and William Tillyer. In 2004, the gallery moved to 6 Cork Street in London's Mayfair, uniting Bernard Jacobson Graphics and Bernard Jacobson Gallery under one roof. Since then, the gallery has held major exhibitions including a two-part examination of Robert Motherwell's Open Series, the largest showing of the artist's work in the UK since the 1978 retrospective at the Royal Academy of Arts; a rare selection of works from Helen Frankenthaler's personal collection; and Bruce McLean's first London showing of new paintings in over fifteen years.
