How to Buy

The Fosse Gallery sells fine art by contemporary British artists from across the UK.

Appointments can be arranged to view works in person, either here in my home in the Cotswolds, or I am happy to come and see you. Time spent looking carefully is often the best way to understand whether a piece is right, and visits are always unhurried and informal. You’re very welcome to call or email with any questions, I’m always happy to chat things through, talking about paintings is what I do.

In addition all works can be purchased directly through our e-commerce website, by bank transfer, or over the phone. If you would like to discuss a piece in more detail, you can enquire directly via the website, or you are very welcome to contact me at any time by phone or email. I am always happy to talk through framing, delivery and any other practical details before a decision is made.

I am also happy to reserve paintings. This requires a clear request from the customer and an agreed reservation period with the gallery

International buyers, please see below. This also includes insurance of your work of art whilst in transit for up to £10,000, but we cannot cover or take responsibility for glass breakages in transit if the frame has glass. For very large paintings, there may be an additional packaging cost, but we will discuss this at the point of sale. We can only give a guide to estimated times of arrival of deliveries. Final delivery dates and times are out of our control. Please note that we require any reports of damage to goods within 24 hours of delivery, or we cannot take responsibility for said damage.

International Buyers:

The Fosse Gallery has built up a large international customer base. If you live outside the UK, please ask us to work out the tax-free price for the painting you are interested in, along with the shipping cost. If you would like to purchase from our website, please contact me by phone or email. I am also happy to take a reserve on an available painting. There has to be a clear directive from the customer to us that they would like to do this, and an agreement with the gallery on the length of time the painting can be reserved.

We will arrange delivery to your home or work address and can offer very competitive shipping costs. Please be aware that the customer is responsible for all customs taxes, related costs, and communications with the relevant authorities in the country of destination. Fosse Gallery and our carrier do not accept any charges relating to the customer’s non-compliance with such bodies. We have no jurisdiction over holdups or delays at customs points. All paintings purchased will be insured, free of charge, whilst in transit worldwide, up to £10,000 but we cannot cover glass breakages if the frame has glass. We can only give a guide to estimated times of arrival of deliveries. Final delivery dates and times are out of our control.
