Apollo Magazine's '40 Under 40'

I'm very flattered (and very surprised) to be included in Apollo's '40 Under 40', which, says the magazine:
[...] is a selection of the most talented and inspirational young people who are driving forward the art world today. This year, the list covers individuals whose main place of work is considered to be Europe; future editions will be dedicated to North America and the rest of the world. 40 Under 40 is published in association with AXA ART Insurance.
The 40 are broken down into four categories; 'Artists', 'Thinkers', 'Collectors' and 'The Business', which is where I am. The judges were:
- Luca Massimo Barbero, Director of the Institute of Art History, Giorgio Cini Foundation, Venice
- Emilie Gordenker, director of the Mauritshuis, The Hague
- Isaac Julien, installation artist and filmmaker
- Thaddaeus Ropac, owner of Galerie Thaddeus Ropac, Salzburg and Paris
- Martin Roth, director of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London
Here's my entry:
Bendor Grosvenor is best known for his work as an art historian, most recently for his discovery of a lost Allan Ramsay portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Such high-profile finds have helped establish him as a regular presence on UK television, while confirming his credentials as an expert in the field of British art. This year, he was part of the steering panel behind Art Detective, a new online forum that encourages connoisseurs to provide specialist knowledge to public collections in the UK. After nearly a decade working in Philip Mould & Company, he has now left to concentrate on writing and consulting.
Which I suppose is a neat way of announcing another aspect of my move to Scotland, as I mentioned below. More anon...
By the way, I may need to be away for a couple of days, so apologies in advance for the lack of posts.
