    Paula Rego (1935-2022) was a Portuguese artist known for her figurative work that often explored themes of gender, power, and violence. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and was an exhibiting member of The London Group, along with David Hockney and Frank Auerbach. Rego's work was deeply influenced by her personal experiences and political beliefs, and she often drew inspiration from literature and mythology. Rego was the first living female artist to have a retrospective at the Tate Gallery in London in 1997, cementing her place as a significant figure in the art world.

    Throughout her career, Paula Rego received numerous awards and accolades for her work, including being made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in 2010. Her work has been exhibited at major museums and galleries around the world, including the National Gallery in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Rego's contribution to the art world lies not only in her unique and powerful imagery but also in her ability to challenge traditional gender roles and social norms. Her work has inspired and influenced countless artists, and her legacy continues to be celebrated and studied today.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
