Ackermann

Ackermann's was founded in London in by Rudolph Ackermann, (1793-1868) which survived under its original format until 1992 when Oscar & Peter Johnson Ltd merged with the firm to become Arthur Ackermann and Peter Johnson Ltd. In December 2008 the company’s name reverted back to Arthur Ackermann Ltd. Throughout its more than two hundred year existence, the gallery was located in a prime position in central London such as Regent Street, Oxford Street, Bond Street and latterly in Belgravia. The gallery was originally best known for the publication and selling of prints, particularly sporting subjects and also dealing in the original paintings again mainly of a sporting character. Over the years, the nature of the business changed and the gallery added 20th & 21st century paintings for the most part by British artists and in 2008 Ackermann Modern was established. However in 2011 the company ‘started the process of being put into hibernation (sic)’.
