Anthony d'Offay was a British Art dealer whose sudden closure of his gallery in 2002 had a major impact on the British Art World. d'Offay had begun dealing contemporary art in the late 1960s and with the closure of the Robert Fraser and John Kasmin galleries became one of the pre-eminent art dealers in London operating from premises in Dering Street. d'Offay was the main agent for Joseph Beuys and represented Christian Boltanski, Gerhard Richter, Gilbert and George, Richard Long and Richard Hamilton. In the early 1990s d'Offay moved into representing the Young British Artists including Rachel Whiteread and Richard Patterson and had a turnover of £35 million when to the surprise of the artworld it was announced in 2001 that he was closing the business.
