About us….
GBS Fine Art is a UK-based art dealer focusing on contemporary artists who, irrespective of fad and fashion, produce work of clarity, accomplishment and resonance across a wide spectrum of media. We are constantly seeking to introduce and nurture new, or overlooked, talents from across the visual arts. Our exhibition space in Somerset is on the first floor of a Georgian townhouse overlooking the magnificent West Front of Wells Cathedral in the heart of Somerset.
Founded in 2008 by Giles Baker-Smith, who has deep roots in the London art scene, where he has been engaged for nearly 40 years, initially within the secondary market, before focusing specifically on contemporary art and artists in 1992. As founding director of the Blue Gallery, he has identified, nurtured and championed the work of a host of artists, many of whom have forged significant reputations. In 2021, Tracey Grace joined as a partner after nearly 20 years in finance, bringing with her a vision to transform GBS Fine Art from a consultancy and largely fair-oriented dealership to inaugurating a vibrant exhibition space in which to showcase the artists they work with and expand the roster.
