Johnny Van Haeften - Gallery Details

“Johnny Van Haeften, although of Dutch ancestry, was born in 1952 in London and educated in England, at Eton. He joined Christie's in 1969 and spent eight years there partly in the Stamp Department (he still collects) and partly in the Press Office. In 1977 he left Christie's and started Johnny Van Haeften Ltd with his wife Sarah who he married the same year, and their first gallery was in New Bond Street on the 3 rd floor above Boucheron. In 1982 he moved to the present gallery at 13 Duke Street, St James's, specialising in Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and he is now the only dealer in London working exclusively in this field.

Johnny Van Haeften was until recently the Vice Chairman of the Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD) and was a former council member of the British Antique Dealers Association (BADA). He is on the executive committees of both the European Fine Art Foundation (TEFAF) and the Grosvenor House Art and Antiques Fair. He is also a member of the Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art.”
