Sim Fine Art introduces fresh collections of intriguing, museum-quality British pictures as part of carefully curated exhibitions. Over the past 15 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 exhibition of twentieth century war art - entitled 'Holding the Line' is established as the leading event of its kind. This year's catalogue - our 16th - is subtitled 'From the Great War to the Coronation' and can be read here . We will be exhibiting this year's catalogue at 54The Gallery, 54 Shepherd Market, W1J 7QX from Monday 10 to Saturday 15 November (Noon-7pm daily).

This year's show will also include a Selling Exhibition of 30 works by war artist, poet and countryman, Thomas Hennell R.W.S., N.E.A.C (1903-45) to commemorate the 80th anniversary of his tragic death at the end of the Second World War. This will include some of his most significant works and pictures from every phase of the artist's brief but fruitful career - all of which can be viewed here.

The following video is a tribute to our friend and collaborator, Dr Jonathan Black, who has sadly died. Jonathan was the foremost historian of twentieth century war art. He leaves behind a substantial and, I believe, enduring legacy of authoritative publications on the subject. Jonathan's wit, charm and empathy with his subject - so evident in this short video - was irreplaceable. He will be greatly missed.
