Our Supporters and Sponsorship

We urgently seek further sponsorship if we are to realise this project. The commissioned photography alone is likely to cost in the region of £500,000.

Sponsorship

We are grateful to the Michael Marks Charitable Trust for their kind donation to support the launching of the catalogue raisonné online

The Fleming family (P.F. Charitable Trust), Mr. Richard de Unger and The Loyd Collection are patrons of the project.

We are especially grateful for the recent donation of $5,000 in memory of Dr. Marianne Seemann Glazek, great-niece of Philip de László, and lifelong enthusiast for his work

We have also had kind and generous donations from supporters who wish to remain anonymous.  We wish to mark our appreciation here and to thank them most warmly.

Our Supporters:

Andrew Wilton, who has given us much valuable advice and contributed greatly to the hanging of the pictures for A Brush with Grandeur, has agreed to be Advisor to the de László Catalogue Raisonné. The Schroder and Harmsworth families generously sponsored the publication of the book A Brush with Grandeur.

Richard Ormond, co-author of the John Singer Sargent Catalogue Raisonné, and curator with Sandra de Laszlo and Christopher Wood for A Brush with Grandeur, continues to share his considerable expertise on Catalogue Raisonné work.

Christopher Lloyd, C.V.O. Surveyor of The Queen’s Pictures 1988-2005, wrote an admirable essay on de László’s royal portraiture in the A Brush with Grandeur book that accompanied the 2004 exhibition and continues to be interested and supportive as the project develops. Desmond Shawe-Taylor, his successor, is demonstrating the same enthusiasm for the catalogue raisonné, and de László’s British Royal portraits will soon feature in the e-gallery of the Royal Collection website.

Hungarian National Museum in Budapest

Loránd Bereczky, the Director of the Hungarian National Gallery, has expressed his enthusiasm and pledged support to us; as has Dr. Tibor Kovács, the Director of the Hungarian National Museum.

The MKB Bank, who own a very fine early portrait of Madame Galambos (1888) are strong advocates of our work too. They have just published a new catalogue of their collection, including this picture and mentioning our work in the accompanying text.

Also in Budapest, Tamás Kieselbach of Kieselbach Auction House continues to introduce us to masterpieces from de László’s early Hungarian period. Through Christopher Wentworth-Stanley we also have the support of the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna.
