Johnny Van Haeften

Johnny started his career in the PR and Stamp Departments at Christie’s, where he realized his affinity with Dutch Old Masters; a nod to his ancestry perhaps.  In 1977, Johnny and his wife Sarah opened the gallery, specializing in Dutch and Flemish Old Master Paintings of the 16th and 17th centuries – the only gallery in London dealing exclusively in this field.  For nearly forty years, Johnny has been a key figure in the Art World.

Vice-Chairman of the Society of London Art Dealers (SLAD)
