Jettison from Haunch of Venison

June 1, 2010 by Marion Maneker

Sarah Douglas reports that Christie’s grand experiment with Haunch of Venison has lost the original founders of the gallery after losing some other important personnel recruited along the way:

Harry Blain and Graham Southern, the dynamic pair of dealers who founded the Haunch of Venison gallery eight years ago, will leave the business as of August. The development is the most significant upheaval at the gallery since it was acquired by the Christie’s International auction company in 2007, and comes little more than a year after the departure of Robert Fitzpatrick, the former MCA Chicago head who served both as Haunch’s international managing director and ran the New York space.
