How does one attempt to sum-up 5 decades working as one of the world’s leading art dealers? Some of the artists I have worked for endeavours to do just that with a dazzling personal selection by Jacobson of some of the remarkable artists he has shown in his eponymous gallery since it first began in 1969. This is a selection to surprise and delight, featuring work spanning more than 130 years and some of the most important names in modern and contemporary art; ample proof if any were needed of why Bernard and his gallery have stood the test of time and become treasured art ‘institutions’.
