Sally Hunter Fine Art

Sally Hunter Fine Art was a London-based gallery specialising in modern British art, run by the eponymous owner, Sally Hunter, who at one point worked with Patrick Seale*, a dealer and journalist. Sally Elizabeth Hunter (b. 1947) ran a gallery with her first husband in St Ives, Cornwall, in the early 1970's. In 1984, she took over a gallery space at 11 Halkin Arcade, Motcomb Street, Knightsbridge and established Sally Hunter Fine Art. The gallery focused on modern British art, representing artists such as Fred Dubery, Lucy Harwood, Margaret Thomas, and Allan Walton. Sally worked with Patrick Seale, and the gallery was known for a period as Sally Hunter & Patrick Seale Fine Art, hosting solo exhibitions for various artists, including Gwyneth Johnstone, Mary Adshead, and James Boswell in the mid-1980's. In 1990, Hunter married insurance broker Ian Posgate(1932-2017), and they shared an interest in 20th-century British art and Indian decorative arts. The gallery closed its physical location in 2019, after which Sally Hunter continued to work online from her London flat. A collection of works from the Sally Hunter and Ian Posgate collection was later sold at auction in 2021 at Sworders, Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex.

*Patrick Abram Seale (1930-2014) was a journalist, author, expert on Syria and its people and an art dealer. Seale worked as a correspondent for The Observer newspaper and, in the early 1980's staged a joint venture with art dealer Sally Hunter. Their joint venture ceased c.1984.
