After 18 good years based in the Lower Sloane Street gallery, the time has come, both professionally and personally, for a change. I have been fortunate in finding a very special and historic house in Ludlow, a town which itself is highly suitable for the sort of pictures in which I deal. The layout of the house lends itself very well to a clear division between gallery and private home and what I very much hope will be the main gallery room (pending consent) is a both expansive and atmospheric.


There is a good deal to do before I will be fully up and running but I hope to have the stock in the gallery before Christmas and will welcome contact from anyone wishing to visit. A landline number will follow but initially please make contact by email or by ringing me on my mobile number - 07766 460127. All being well, I will be opening fully in February.


I would like to take this opportunity of thanking all those who have visited me in Chelsea since 1995, and all those who have supported the business. I much look forward to seeing many of you in Ludlow in the coming months and years.


With many thanks
Miles Wynn Cato

One of William Parry's celebrated portraits of his father, the blind harpist John Parry (c. 1710-1782), can be seen at the Plas Glyn y Weddw gallery at Llanbedrog, Caernarfonshire, until 30th September. The picture is the first in a rolling exhibition of images which are central to themes of Welsh identity and history.


I will be giving an illustrated lecture about the life and work of William Parry A.R.A (1742-1791) at 2 p.m on Saturday 14th September at the Plas.

Just published - the 'oblique autobiography' of Wales's foremost art historian Peter Lord. Each chapter is based on a photograph or painting which has particular resonance for the author both as a work of art and also as a signpost on his journey through a life dedicated to revealing the true history of the visual culture of Wales.

Characteristically though-provoking, critical and forthright, 'Relationships with Pictures' is a highly stimulating read. Peter's personal relationships with artists, critics, curators and his adopted country reveal much about the complex interactions and tensions of language, art and national heritage.

Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i Gyd. A Happy New Year to All.


We are in tough times but art offers a channel to interest and enjoyment - and a lot can still be had for comparatively little. I am always willing to give a good deal to clients old and new so if there is something on this website which is of interest please don't hesitate to get in touch.

On Friday 3 August, I will be leading a tour of Mostyn Hall together with the art historian Peter Lord. This is an event organised by, and exclusively for, members of the Flintshire Historical Society. Mostyn is one of the great private treasure houses of Wales but has been inaccessible for many years. The new Lord Mostyn is intent upon increasing access and 'though this day is restricted it may be that the house will be open to visitors on a more regular basis in the coming years.
