About Alpha 1
Alpha 1 Marketing represents a group of artists - such as Mary Ann Rogers, Paul Tavernor, and Sue Howells - that have been constantly in the top 10 sellers, best sellers in the UK or runner up in the best newcomers.
We first arrived on the Art Market in 1982, specialising in hand made etchings which at that time had almost disappeared from retail galleries as an art form.
We became established as a company that was very different to its competitors.
The range of etchings grew and we added a range of affordable original paintings by UK and European artists. This expanded our market almost overnight.
With the success of the original paintings we added a range of limited edition prints. We again took the view that our range would be different to our competitors and unique to ourselves.
It was at this time we introduced Giclée prints to the U.K., we believe we were the first company to have them.
