Art

Britain has an extraordinary artistic history, and over the last few decades, our country has produced some of the leading lights of the contemporary art world. With our wealth of world-class galleries and museums, enclosing and preserving many of the oldest and rarest artefacts from history alongside the most cutting-edge and leading global artwork. British artists and galleries are now attracting artistically-minded pilgrims to our shores from all over the world, and with the expansion of some of our greatest galleries in the coming years, their prestige looks set to increase astronomically. The Debrett’s list includes not only some of our greatest contemporary artists, who are continuing to inspire thought and debate with their work, but also those who are facilitating the creation of art, as well as its transmission to ever-wider audiences, whether they be gallerists, museum directors, collectors or philanthropists.
