Bernard Jacobson Gallery is a London based gallery shaped by the long and influential career of its founder, Bernard Jacobson, who began working in the city’s cultural scene in the 1960s as a journalist closely connected to the artists of Swinging London. A formative period in New York led Jacobson toward print dealing and publishing, collaborating with artists such as Howard Hodgkin, Bruce McLean, Richard Smith, and William Tillyer, and later with figures including Ed Ruscha and Joe Goode. During the 1970s he operated galleries in both New York and Los Angeles, before returning to London in the 1980s, where he became a leading dealer in Modern British art.

The gallery played a significant role in championing and reassessing artists such as Ivon Hitchens, Ben Nicholson, Graham Sutherland, and Marc Vaux. Following the market downturn of the late 1980s, Bernard Jacobson expanded the program to include major American artists including Frank Stella, Larry Bell, Jules Olitski, Lee Krasner, Kenneth Noland, Robert Rauschenberg, James Rosenquist, and Helen Frankenthaler. In the early 2000s, the gallery began representing the Dedalus Foundation, the estate of Robert Motherwell, leading to Jacobson’s authorship of *Robert Motherwell: The Making of an American Giant*. In recent years, Bernard Jacobson Gallery has continued to balance historical depth with renewed focus, presenting major exhibitions devoted to artists such as Calder, Matisse, Miró, Sam Francis, and Robert Motherwell, including a centenary exhibition, as well as the first London exhibition of Georges Braque in more than two decades in late 2021.
