Sally Burgess graduated from University College London with joint honours degree in Art History and English Literature, with First Class Honours 
in Art History. She has over ten years experience in the commercial art world having worked as a fine art consultant at a major art dealership in Mayfair with all the main responsibilities of sales and research within the gallery. Exhibiting at most of the renowned world fine art & antiques fairs including Grosvenor House, The Armory Show in New York, 20/21 British Art Fair at the Royal College, The London Art Fair, Islington and IFAF Olympia, she has initiated and maintained alliances with and made sales to major museum curators, private clients and experts worldwide. She has also worked on many publications and lead vocal presentations to individuals and museum groups. She was headhunted in 2007 to advise a renowned auction house and a range of private clients. With her passionate approach to the art she buys and sells and a grounding in academia, she founded Clerkenwell Fine Art independently in 2008, specialising in British Visionary, Symbolist and Surrealist art.
In London, at the recent LAPADA Fair in Berkeley Square, dealers were muttering words of encouragement about the market for older art and antiques. There was even a record price set when a nude portrait of a young girl by the early 20th century figurative painter, Dod Procter, sold on the stand of Clerkenwell Fine Art with an asking price of 100,000 pounds. The auction record for Proctor is barely half that. www.telegraph.co.uk
