Goupil Gallery
The internationally renowned Goupil Gallery began in Paris in the mid-19th century as Goupil & Cie and gradually established branches in London (where it opened in 1857), Brussels, The Hague, Berlin and Vienna, as well as in New York and Australia. It had various London locations, including Covent Garden, New Bond Street, and Regent Street, until an incendiary bomb ended its existence in 1941. It was managed by David Croal Thomson and, for many years, by William Marchant who took it over as his own company circa 1901. Marchant had been educated in France and worked in the company's Paris office in the 1890’s. In 1914, the inaugural exhibition of the then newly established London Group was held at the Gallery. The London gallery exhibited works by the great late 19th and early 20th century British artists, including James McNeill Whistler, Charles Conder, Philip Wilson Steer, William Roberts, David Bomberg, William Orpen, Wyndham Lewis, Walter Greaves and Bernard Meninsky, amongst many.
