Sim Fine Art introduces fresh collections of intriguing, museum-quality British pictures as part of carefully curated exhibitions. Over the past 20 years, our themed shows have become an established feature of the London art world.

We specialise in pictures with social history content and have established a track record for discovering important lost pictures of cultural significance, many of which have found their way into museums as well as major private collections.

Our annual exhibition of twentieth century war art - entitled 'Holding the Line' is established as the leading event of its kind. This year's catalogue - our 17th - can be read here . We will be exhibiting this year's catalogue at The Gallery, 54 Shepherd Market, London W1J 7QX from Nov 2-7 (Noon to 8pm daily).

Last year's pair of exhibitions devoted to the work of war artist, poet and countryman, Thomas Hennell (1903-45) were a tremendous success, with over 30 works sold, including a number to museums, including the Wellcome Collection and the National Army Museum. Hennell's work is a mainstay of our offering, and there is a very rare watercolour, dating from the artist's time in Iceland, in our latest catalogue (above). here.

The following video is a tribute to our friend and collaborator, Dr Jonathan Black, who has sadly died. Jonathan was the foremost historian of twentieth century war art. He leaves behind a substantial and, I believe, enduring legacy of authoritative publications on the subject. Jonathan's wit, charm and empathy with his subject - so evident in this short video - was irreplaceable. He will be greatly missed.
