Biography

Simon Hucker is a Senior Specialist in Modern & Contemporary Art, based in London. He became part of the Lyon & Turnbull team in 2022.

Simon has worked in the London art world since the late 1990s, both at auction and in galleries. He was Senior Specialist and Co-Head of the Modern & Post-War British Art department at Sotheby’s, London, where he was responsible for a number of sales of major private collections, most notably the record-breaking auction of David Bowie’s personal art collection in 2016. Before joining Sotheby’s, Simon was a Director at Jonathan Clark Fine Art, where he worked closely with the estates and families of leading Post-War British artists. He has written extensively on Modern and Contemporary art – including a monograph on the British Modernist sculptor George Kennethson.

Simon will be working with Philip Smith and the team in our London gallery on further developing our auctions of Modern, Post-War and Contemporary Art – including a dedicated sale that will, for its first edition, run alongside the highly-successful Modern Made auction in April 2023.
