1929

William "Willy" Mostyn-Owen (10 May 1929 – 2 May 2011) was a British art historian.

He worked for some years with the art expert Bernard Berenson, and was his bibliographer.

He was connected with the auctioneers Christie's for 30 years.

The Mostyn-Owen family were military landed gentry of Woodhouse, Shropshire.

He had three older brothers and a sister.

His brothers all died during the Second World War, and his father died while William was in his teens, so that he inherited the family seat of Woodhouse and the Dewhurst family's Aberuchill Castle, Perthshire, at a young age.

He was educated at Eton and Magdalene College, Cambridge.

After his graduation, Mostyn-Owen worked for the Fogg Museum at Harvard and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

In the 1950s, he spent six years working closely with Bernard Berenson, the art expert, at his Villa I Tatti near Florence, and acquired a deep understanding of the art of the Italian Renaissance.

In Florence, the British consul commented that Mostyn-Owen was "worth a battleship" for his charm and tact when dealing with American President Harry S. Truman, the King of Norway Haakon VII and other visiting dignitaries.

He joined the auction house Christie's in London, alongside David Carritt, Noel Annesley, and Brian Sewell, and worked there for almost thirty years.

1968

He became a director in 1968, and chairman of Christie's Education from 1979 to 1988.

In 1968, they were living in a single wing of Aberuchill Castle which consisted of "23 rooms or so".

1992
