About Christopher Wright
I was educated at Southwell Minster Grammar School and I sang in the Cathedral choir. I then studied Fine Art at the University of Leeds under Quentin Bell, the Bloomsbury painter and biographer of his aunt Virginia Woolf. Then I took an M.A. degree in the history of European Art at the University of London, Courtauld Institute of Art, under Anthony Blunt with whom there were disagreements.

Current Projects
I am working on an exhibition of French paintings from Yorkshire Museums.
At the same time I am writing a short history of French painting from the 15th century onwards.
I have also just completed a catalogue of a private collection of Old Masters and I’m working on a brochure on a newly discovered Van Dyck for a private collector in Italy.
On a personal level I have recently completed my Memoirs : Forgery Treachery and Scholarship.
