Crowther Solicitors is helping investors who bought art via Yield Gallery to recover their money.
We have already successfully recovered lost funds via banks for people who discovered that they did not own the paintings that they believed they had purchased.
The London gallery sold a variety of art from different artists, chief amongst them was Canadian graffiti artist Richard Hambleton.
Yield Gallery, which operated under the name Artwork Holdings, was wound up at the High Court in May 2025.
After the company failed many investors found that they could not sell the art that they had understood was being held for them by the gallery.
Concerns about the gallery have been raised before in articles by the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
We have been able to help our clients recover their lost funds via bank reimbursement schemes.
Our senior partner said: "We are seeing a number of issues with the same paintings that Yield Gallery claimed to own.
"Art by Richard Hambleton and in particular his painting, Shadow Head Portrait, has been mentioned by a number of clients.
"We are keen to hear from any Yield Gallery clients who have lost money and need help."

One investor tells his story of how Crowther Solicitors helped him recover £100,000 after he thought he had bought art from Yield Gallery.
Our client from southwest London thought he had bought two original paintings by Canadian street artist Richard Hambleton from the gallery in spring 2024.
But six months later he was told that one of the pieces of art by Hambleton, called Rodeo, had been sold by an art gallery in New York.
Further investigations revealed that he also did not own the painting, Shadow Head Portrait.
The IT consultant had been told by his bank that there was nothing they could do which is when he reached out for legal representation.
We took on the case and successfully recovered all of his money.
The chain of events for our client began when he spotted a Yield Gallery advert on Facebook and after saving up for several years decided to look into investment art.
He was advised by the Yield Gallery that Hambleton was undervalued in the market and so represented a good investment.
Unkeen to start with such a large investment he instead purchased a painting by upcoming artist Fern Young for £7,000 and he installed it in his flat.
The successful transaction gave him confidence and he visited the company's Blackheath gallery to view art by Hambleton.
"I saw there were lots of paintings, and the basement was full of Hambletons, and I thought 'this is quite the operation here'," he added.
In March 2024 he agreed to buy Shadow Head Portrait for £55,000 which the gallery agreed to store on his behalf.
Then in May 2024, he agreed to buy another Rodeo for £45,000 which would also be held in storage.
But when Yield Gallery went into liquidation, alarm bells started ringing. And when he saw an image of Rodeo online in the Isabel Sullivan Gallery in New York in October 2025, he decided to contact her.
"I spoke to Isabel, and she confirmed she was in possession of that painting and had sold it in December 2024 for $28,000," he said. "I'd been told Rodeo was in a storage facility in Birmingham.
"I then had a phone call with Jon Sullivan, who said he knew about both of my pieces, and they were both in storage. He was offering to keep them in storage and help with the sale down the line."
The official liquidator subsequently told him they could not locate any storage facilities operated by Yield Gallery.
