Waddington Custot was formed through the partnership of French art dealer Stephane Custot and long-time London art dealer Leslie Waddington, in 2010. Located in Cork Street since 1958, formerly as Waddington Galleries, the gallery has a rich heritage and an international reputation for quality and expertise in works by modern and contemporary masters, with a particular focus on monumental sculpture.
The gallery has cemented its reputation over several decades for high quality and well-researched exhibitions of significant artists operating in the mid-twentieth century and beyond. Today, Waddington Custot represents heavyweight contemporary and modern artists and their estates including Peter Blake, David Annesley, Patrick Caulfield, Allan D’Arcangelo, Yves Dana, Ian Davenport, Paul Feeley, Barry Flanagan, Robert Indiana, Landon Metz, Pablo Reinoso, Sophia Vari, Fabienne Verdier and Bernar Venet. The inventory includes works by important modern artists including Josef Albers, Chu Teh-Chun, Jean Dubuffet, Hans Hartung, Fausto Melotti, Pierre Soulages, Antoni Tàpies, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, and the American Photorealist painters including Robert Cottingham, Richard Estes and Ralph Goings.
