A Celebration of African Art at Tarrystone

As authentic art lovers, the current owners of Tarrystone, have a longstanding passion for African art, shaped by personal encounters, a love of beauty and a deep appreciation for the artists themselves. With thousands of works assembled over time, the collection has established a significant presence within the international art community.

As custodians of this art collection, collecting is about far more than acquiring works. It is about discovering artists, forming connections and sharing their enthusiasm for the extraordinary breadth of artistic expression found across Africa. Their collection invites the viewer to explore different cultures, ideas, techniques and perspectives, often revealing something unexpected along the way.

At Tarrystone, art forms an integral part of the character of the home. A carefully selected range of works by contemporary African artists is displayed throughout the mezzanine gallery, reception areas and private spaces, introducing vibrant colour, texture and personality to the architecture and interiors.

The art interacts with the architecture and spaces of Tarrystone, while also highlighting the exceptional scope for a future owner to develop and display a collection of their own.
