The Eagle Gallery / EMH Arts was established in 1991 by Emma Hill to promote the work of contemporary artists through exhibitions, artist/writer collaborations and off-site installations. Recognised as one of London’s first alternative art spaces, a founding principle of the gallery and its associated imprint, was to support the work of emerging artists. Over almost 30 years Eagle Gallery / EMH Arts has exhibited and published work by many individuals who are now recognised internationally.
Emma Hill has initiated projects to bring artists together with musicians, composers, writers and filmmakers and has collaborated with institutions and arts organisations including Aldeburgh Music, Almeida Opera, the British Library, Kettle’s Yard, Sadler’s Wells Theatre, TATE, the Wallace Collection and the Venice Biennale.
Works by represented artists are held in many public and corporate collections including Arts Council, England; British Library; Clifford Chance; Fidelity PLC; Government Art Collection; Guttenberg Museum, Mainz; Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; Penguin Books; TATE; Victoria and Albert Museum; and Yale Center for British Art, USA.
Emma Hill has a degree in English Language and Literature from Oxford University and writes for publications including the RA Magazine and Print Quarterly. In addition to her Directorship of the Eagle Gallery / EMH Arts she works on occasion as a freelance curator.
