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.

Born in Rochester, Kent, (1942) Holden studied at Medway College of Art & Design (1959-63) and the Royal Academy Schools, London (1963-66). Initially a landscape painter of stark snow and street scenes, he made his first hard-edged, geometric paintings after seeing an exhibition of works by the American abstract expressionist Franz Kline (1910-1962) at the Whitechapel Gallery in 1964.
Holden was encouraged in this development by William Scott (1913-1989), then a visiting lecturer who took an interest in his work, and by his tutors Derrick Greaves (1927-2022) and Edward Bawden (1903-1989), whose clean lines and design sense would have a profound influence. After graduating, Holden worked directly alongside Bawden on the artist’s murals for the BP Headquarters at Britannic House (now Citypoint) and the British Pavilion at the Montreal World Fair (1966-7). He would later be commissioned to produce murals of his own for Leicester University’s Wilson Building and the Avril Robarts Library at Liverpool John Moores University.

What our customers say
Wendy
The picture I had arranged to see was ready for me and staff gave me lots of time to look at it and decide, but I loved it as soon as I saw it. No pressure. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. I had great advice on framing and protective glass.
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.
Terry
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.
Graham
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.
David
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.
Christine
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.
Vanessa
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.
Sharon
Great pots, exquisitely displayed, expertly packed and shipped all over the world! The storytelling about potters and their methods has been extremely helpful, Goldmark is fabulous!
Mark
Always friendly and helpful staff with an amazing ever changing gallery of wonderful art and studio pottery! Would highly recommend a visit!
Philip
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.
