Sackville Gallery Explained

The Sackville Gallery was an art gallery at 28 Sackville Street, London, best known for hosting the exhibition of Futurist art in 1912.^[1]

The gallery opened in May 1908.^[2] It was owned and run by Max Rothschild and Robert René Meyer-Sée^[3] until Meyer-Sée left to run the Marlborough Gallery in August 1912. The gallery specialised in the sale of old master works and the Futurist exhibition was untypical of its activities.^[2]

The gallery closed in 1939.
