The gallery has a diverse intergenerational and international programme. Modern Art's intention is to assist artists in the development of their practices and the creation of new work by fostering relationships between artists, institutions, collectors, and audiences.
Modern Art is a London based gallery opened by Stuart Shave in 1998. In 20 years the gallery has occupied six locations in east and central London, presently being homed in a converted 5,000 sq ft pre-war factory building in the Clerkenwell area of central London. Each year Modern Art participates in art fairs in Basel, Hong Kong, Miami, London, and New York.
