Known for her impeccable taste and love of the eclectic, Robin, together with her husband, the banker and philanthropist Rupert Hambro, built a superb collection of fine and decorative arts from all over the world. Robin was glamorous and had impeccable style (having worked for Vogue) she had the discerning fashion editor’s eye. Robin's profound knowledge of the art world and the act of creation as a painter led her to constantly refresh her and her husband's art collection and take it in an increasingly 20th-century Modernist direction. Her works appear rarely to market so this is a rather unique opportunity to own a piece of wonderful original art from an iconic collector and artist.

  • William Girard "Portrait of a Woman" Oil Portrait
    By WILLIAM GIRARD
    Located in Detroit, MI
    SALE ONE WEEK ONLY In "Portrait of a Woman" Girard has captured a beautiful, youthful, long-haired female in a pose with a slightly tilted head. There appears to be a sad look to her eyes, but that might just be a look of youthful disappointment to disappear in a second. Her long straight hair and bangs are held in place by a headband. She appears to be completely self-absorbed without being closed-off to her interior monologue and the decorative element about her head may suggest the nature of those thoughts. Girard was a Detroit figurative painter and teacher at College for Creative Studies, Detroit, Michigan where he taught for 30 years. Other College for Creative Studies (formerly Center for Creative Studies) faculty and graduates include Richard Jerzy, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing (currently director of Lucas Film), Stephen Dinehart (game maker, writer, designer connected with The David Lynch Foundation), Tyree Guyton (international artist), Herb Babcock...
