Gregg Baker Asian Art established in London in 1985 specialises in Japanese art. From January 2021 we will be located in Brussels and open by appointment only.
Our mission is to promote the beauty and versatility of Japanese art focusing on antique Japanese screens, early Buddhist sculpture and classical works of art.
With over 35 years of experience in traditional Japanese art, the gallery also carries works from the post-war era, presenting abstract painting, sculpture and calligraphy by leading Japanese artists of the mid-20th century, an important area of Japanese art which is currently being rediscovered by art lovers across the globe.
We hold regular exhibitions at the gallery and participate in several international art fairs which include TEFAF Maastricht, Frieze Masters and Asian Art in London.
The gallery is instrumental in building collections for an international clientele, as well as finding works for institutions and museums in Great Britain, U.S.A., Netherlands, Germany, France, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates and Japan.
In an effort to raise awareness of Japanese art, Gregg Baker lectures to students of the British Museum, Victoria and Albert Museum, SOAS (University of London), Sotheby’s Institute of Art and Christie’s Education, sharing his passion for this iconic art form with an ever-widening audience.
