FISCHER FINE ART
Fischer Fine Art was founded by Heinrich Robert Fischer (1903-1977), known as Harry Fischer, who was born in Vienna and where he founded one of Vienna's largest bookshops. Harry came to England in 1938 and after serving in the British Army during the Second World War was one of the founders of Marlborough Fine Art Gallery in 1946. Around 1963, his son by his first wife Martha née Hölzl, Wolfgang Georg Fischer (1933-1997), together with his wife Jutta Maria née Tempfer (1937-), came to England from the U.S.A., and worked in his father’s gallery, before they set up Fischer Fine Art at 30 King Street, Southwest London. Harry now a naturalised British citizen died in London in 1977 and his son Wolfgang Georg Fischer (1933-2021), carried on running Fischer Fine Art gallery until 1995 when the lease came up for renewal and he retired and returned to Austria. Suffolk artists who exhibited in his gallery included Jayne Pope and John Ridgewell, other exhibiting artists include Arthur Merric Bloomfield Boyd (1920-1999), David Hepher (1935-), John Hubbard (1931-2017), Ken Kiff (1935-2001), Leon Kossoff (1926-2019), Ansel Krut (1959-), Liliane Lijn (1939-), Brendan Neiland (1941-) and Michael Sandle (1936-).
