Sometimes the word 'gallery' simply isn't enough. Yes, it's the core of a business dedicated to the best in painting, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics. But here the books turn into paintings, the paintings turn into films. Watch our short film to find out a bit more about us and what we do.

Wootton was born in Lewisham in 1932. She studied at Goldsmiths College of Art, where she graduated with first class honours and attended the Royal College of Art. In 1955 she was represented in the Young Contemporaries exhibition in London. Although Olive has exhibited throughout her life, it is since the untimely death of her painter husband, Gordon, that she has returned to sculpture with a renewed energy.
She has enjoyed considerable success with individual shows in the UK and overseas. In 1992 she was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Society of British Sculptors and in recent years has shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibitions. She lives and works at her studio in an attractive area of rural Northamptonshire.

About the Work
Edition of 6.
The Minotaur, a half man, half bull offspring of the union of a beautiful bull, sent by Poseidon to Minos, and Pasiphaë, Minos' wife. Daedalus constructed a labyrinth for Pasiphaë in which to hide the minotaur who was eventually slain by Theseus. The minotaur is often depicted as man's animal nature freed from the restrictions of his analytical intellect and the labyrinth as a symbol of doubt and perplexity.
This particular bronze has been made from the original cast, which unfortunately broke into many pieces. Having put the pieces back together, it has created these bold lines and accentuates on the fragility and beauty of such a iconic image.

Paul
Astonishing place. Driving home I realised it was probably the best experience I've ever had in a shop/gallery. I'll be filling my house with their artworks for years to come. A unique place.

Just received my Kang-hyo Lee teacup. In perfect condition. I’m so happy with it and I think the international service offered by Goldmark is superb. The staff are so kind and extremely efficient and professional.

Goldmark have the most astonishing range, from the very affordable to the upper echelons of the market. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and really helpful. For anyone wanting to start a serious art collection within whatever budget this could be the best place to start.

There is no other gallery like Goldmark. I'm always amazed at both the stock they hold and their ability to regularly source really quite special pieces of art. That, with their friendly, knowledgeable & utterly unpretentious style makes them a delight to visit & to buy from.

Their delivery service is 100% reliable and the breadth of work displayed on their website pretty amazing. Above all, unlike other such dealers, I have never been under any pressure to buy. I recommend you give them a try.

We first visited Goldmark approximately 6 years ago and immediately liked the informality compared to previous gallery experiences. It’s a great place to start or build on your collection. Everyone at Goldmark is very friendly, knowledgeable and will give you as much or as little time as you wish.

We have bought prints and pots from Goldmark over many years and our house is the richer for the collections we have built up. The framing and delivery service are faultless.

Their exhibitions are always prepared with great care, with videos and catalogs accompanying the shows. I have not been able to visit the gallery in person but all the Goldmark team is splendid and highly professional, which makes the virtual shopping a great experience.
