In 2014 we launched Shapero Modern, led by Tabitha Philpott-Kent, our London-based modern and contemporary fine art gallery specialising in Post War and Contemporary prints and originals, proudly offering professional art advisory services to both seasoned collectors and those considering purchasing their first printed edition. The gallery's primary focus lies in American 20th-century art, with a curated selection of eminent artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Frank Stella, Robert Indiana, and Pablo Picasso. You will find our gallery in the heart of London’s prestigious Mayfair area, as well as at international art fairs, including TEFAF Maastricht, Frieze Masters, and more.

With six exhibitions each year, Shapero Modern is a place that inspires collectors and first-time buyers alike, offering an ideal selection for both art collection and interior decoration.
