Educated at Edinburgh College of Art, Jamie was fortunate enough to join the pilot scheme of the Sotheby’s Works of Art Course. Subsequently he worked for Sotheby’s and briefly ran the newly formed Victorian paintings department before moving to Michael Parkin Fine Art, a gallery specializing in modern British art. His next job was at Wildenstein & Co, the international art dealers. Three years later he set up his own dealership, the Maclean Gallery, holding exhibitions of paintings, drawings and prints from the 18th century to the present day, for which he produced several catalogues. In 1985 he curated the first exhibition of erotic art to be held legally in the UK.<\/p>\n

He has also written for the Observer<\/i>, Evening Standard <\/i>and New Statesman<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-915117","agent","type-agent","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
