Sim Fine Art introduces fresh collections of intriguing, museum-quality British pictures as part of carefully curated
exhibitions. Over the past ten 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 war art show, 'Holding the Line'is now accepted as the leading event of its kind. This year's renewal takes place from 26-31 Oct at The Gallery, 54 Shepherd Market, London W1J 7QX. Read a review of last year's show in Country Life here

EXHIBITION
We're also very proud to announce that, together with Bethlem Museum of the Mind, we will be staging a groundbreaking museum exhibition of
Hennell's work called 'Landscapes of the Mind'. This will open online on March 4 to coincide with the
publication of Jessica Kilburn's beautiful new biography of the artist and will open to the public in April. Some of the works in the collection are already committed for a three month period to the
Bethlem Exhibition but are nevertheless available for purchase. If you would like to view any of the works, please contact simfineart@btinternet.com or
