About Us

Dovehouse Contemporary is an online gallery specialising in modern and contemporary prints and editions. Based in the UAE and working with collectors internationally, we bring together works on paper, photography, sculpture and artist multiples through a secondary-market catalogue.

Our focus is helping collectors understand the particular work they are considering: its image, process, edition, physical format and documented history. An artist's name is a starting point. The details of the individual print or object are what make a purchase informed.

Explore contemporary prints and editions

The catalogue includes artists such as Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Gerhard Richter, Yayoi Kusama, Bridget Riley and Banksy. Our artist directory provides a route into each collection, while new arrivals shows recent additions.

You can also browse by medium, including screenprints, lithographs, pigment prints, photography and sculpture. These categories matter: an exhibition poster, a signed limited-edition print and a sculptural multiple can share an image while being different kinds of object.

Information before a purchase

Begin with the work's individual listing and ask about anything that needs clarification. Useful questions include whether dimensions refer to the sheet or image, how the work is signed or numbered, what condition information is available, and which documents accompany the particular example. Framing, location and delivery requirements should also be discussed where relevant.

Our guide to reading a print description explains the terminology, and the condition and framing guide sets out practical considerations. Editorial guidance provides context; it does not replace evidence about an individual work.

Buying, selling and enquiries

We work with buyers and sellers of contemporary prints and editions. If you are considering selling, visit Sell With Us and provide photographs, the artist and title, dimensions, edition details, condition information and any supporting documentation. The proposed arrangement can then be discussed for your work.

For purchase enquiries, sourcing requests or viewing arrangements, contact Dovehouse Contemporary or email info@dovehousecontemporary.com. Viewings are by appointment. Our frequently asked questions cover common buying, delivery and selling enquiries, and our editorial articles offer further artist and collecting context.
