Originally named Alan Cristea Gallery after its founder, Cristea Roberts Gallery was established in London’s West End in 1995. Three years on, the space was rebranded as Cristea Roberts after David Cleaton-Roberts joined Cristea’s team as director, with a remit to bring a new generation of artists to the gallery. Nestled in the Pall Mall area near Piccadilly, it specializes in original fine art prints and works on paper by some of the most recognizable names in contemporary art.

(Other names on their roster include Georg Baselitz, Julian Opie, Jim Dine and Antony Gormley, and the gallery manages the print work estates of Josef Albers, Naum Gabo and Richard Hamilton.)
