Hi Francois,

I wanted to thank you for the lovely words you wrote about Albert. 

My ‘uncle Albert’ opened the door for me through Mark Poltimore to start working at Christie’s Australia which lasted 15 years both in Australia and North America. 

I have since started my own auction house here in Australia and I wouldn’t be doing what I am doing now without his guidance and support at the start. 

He used to tell me stories of the ‘good old days’ and how he took you on as a trainee.  He always spoke very proudly of you and your achievements. 

Kind regards
