Merfield continue to build upon their collection through private acquisitions, while introducing a Contemporary Art feature that represents, curates, and participates in exhibitions by a diverse range of artists. Through a dedicated global program, contemporary works of art are integrated with the works of famous past masters. This engaging dynamic creates a dialogue between past and present, old, and new, tradition and innovation. The focus is on showing inspiring contemporary works and relevant artists in new illuminating contexts – serving to advance art legacy and meet the needs and desires of discerning collectors. While the activities of Merfield have turned almost exclusively to dealing in contemporary art, the program effectively caters for a clientele with a wide range of interests, reflecting individuality and tastes. Merfield is a significant point of reference for the international art market, offering original, visually powerful, universal works from a selection of mid-career and established Contemporary Artists.

Discovering, acquiring, and living with great works of art brings enormous gratification and a shared passion for art with a global network of like-minded art enthusiasts.
