Kathlene Fox-Davies In Conversation

We are celebrating International Women's day and highlighting woman in art this month. This week we are in conversation with art influencer and art dealer Kathlene Fox-Davies.

Kathlene is Co-founder and Director of Black Box Projects, a London based contemporary art gallery specialising in photography and process-based photographic works.  She is a photography expert, art historian and curator, with over 16 years’ experience in the art world both in London and New York.

Kathlene began her career as a Sales Associate at Michael Hoppen Gallery before moving to Hasted Hunt in New York as Gallery Manager. On her return to London, Kathlene joined Halcyon Gallery in Mayfair as an art consultant. She later joined ATLAS Gallery as Associate Director, introducing and overseeing a programme of contemporary artists.

In 2014 Kathlene established her own art consultancy, Fox-Davies Contemporary, where she worked with a select group of clients helping to build and manage their collections. In 2017 she co-founded Black Box Projects, motivated to present world-class art and artists in a new way to the traditional gallery model. 

Her special interest is within community engagement through the gallery and arts programming, transparency in business, a desire to connect clients to the art, artists and art world, as well as providing a more personal collecting experience through the gallery. 

Kathlene is also a frequent contributor to Monocle Radio as a guest art expert, offering a commentary on the current arts headlines as well as reviews of gallery shows and art fairs.
