About the Gallery
Southard Reid was co-founded in 2010 by New Zealanders Phillida Reid and David Southard, located in Soho, London. The gallery programme reflects a consistent desire to represent a variety of artistic voices, across generations, backgrounds and modes of presentation, from younger artists – Joanna Piotrowska, Celia Hempton, Prem Sahib, Edward Thomasson, Lea Cetera for example - to the more established practices of Hany Armanious, Ann Craven, R.M. Fischer and Neal Jones. Close and trusted relationships with the artists aims to reflect in the spirit of the shows, art fair participations and institutional representations of their work - to clearly, and with freedom, provide generative space for the presentation, development and communication of their ideas.

Beward, if you're not a big of cute animals: Ann Craven's current exhibition is chock-full of them, nearly twenty years' worth.
Unwittingly enacting something central to Edward Thomasson’s exhibition “Other People,” I reflexively supplemented its title to constitute Jean-Paul Sartre’s familiar aphorism “Hell is . . .”
David Southard and Phillida Reid were a pair of good friends working in the arts (Southard for Hauser & Wirth and the artist Martin Creed, and Reid for Anthony d'Offay and then Waddington Custot Galleries) when they decided to launch Southard Reid in 2010.
