William Parker
Head of Paintings

Will joins Duke's with experience gained as a picture specialist at auction houses in Surrey and Gloucestershire. He is interested in all periods of art history, with a particular fondness for British art of the early twentieth century. While living in the South East, he helped to consign an early watercolour by J.M.W. Turner - his best discovery to date. Before joining the auction world, Will completed a PhD in art history at the Courtauld Institute, where his research focused on artists and writers in the Edwardian period.
