Introduction to McNaught Fine Art

  Born to an art-collecting family with a

  strong academic tradition, I was fortunate

  to grow up in the presence of Old Master

  and post-Impressionist paintings. After

  working with Bryan Heath Fine Art in London,

  I spent ten years studying music at the Grove   School of Music in Los Angeles and at Berlin's         Hochschule. Returning to art dealing in 1982,

  I continued my education in London at

  Christie’s Fine Arts, graduating in 1986.  For three years, I served as the head of the Fine Arts Department of Auction Galleries in Monterey, California before opening my own gallery in 1989.

Every work of art represented is thoroughly researched before being offered for sale. A comprehensive artist biography and bibliography is compiled, together with all available information on provenance. When conservation is required, all methods employed are consistent with current museum archival practice. Where a new frame is called for, it is custom-made by hand.

While I am proud of long-established relationships with both private and institutional collectors, it is always gratifying to begin working with a new client.  New or old, however, all client relationships are essentially collaborative in nature. The acquisition of fine art is a journey as well as a destination.  As I work with each collector, I seek those exceptional works that will enrich both their collection and their experience of collecting.
