Robert Kime | The Personal Collection - An Appreciation Part 2

In this second part of the film Robert Kime | The Personal Collection - An Appreciation, we hear from five of Robert's closest collaborators and colleagues as each recollects fond times spent with the man himself, and how working with Robert could puzzle, intrigue, and frustrate and delight… but above all, enrich their lives with the forging of an unforgettable and much-valued friendship. Featuring interviews with Mary-Lou Arscott, architect and collaborator on many of Robert’s projects since the first in 1972; Gela-Nash Taylor, Fashion Designer, former client, and current owner/ custodian of South Wraxall Manor; Orlando Atty, Managing Director of Robert Kime Ltd; Christopher Payne, Head of Antique Sales at Robert Kime Ltd; and Gisella Milne-Watson, Fabric Designer and long-standing collaborator of Robert’s for many years. Known the world over as a titan of design and the ‘great assembler’ of beautiful things, Robert Kime’s unique eye and aesthetic sensibility led him to become one of the leading design figures of his generation. The culmination of Robert’s lifetime of collecting will form a three-day auction, charting his passion, curiosity, and delight in beautiful things through the contents of his homes in London and Provence. Robert’s family hope that this sale will give the opportunity for all collectors, young and old, to enjoy the objects Robert chose to call ‘old friends.’ The auction will take place at Donnington Priory 4-6 October 2023 Follow the link below to keep up to date about the sale, our series of events, and highlights: https://www.dreweatts.com/auctions/ro...
