Stonehage Fleming, one of the world’s leading independently owned family offices, recently had the pleasure of hosting a preview of the masterworks by the late Sir Claude Francis Barry at CCaSM Modern & Contemporary Art Gallery in St Helier. The exhibition was introduced by the Directors of the CCaSM, Chris Clifford and Stephen McCoubrey, who welcomed the opportunity to commemorate and pay tribute to one of Jersey’s modern British master painters. Ian Crosby, Chairman and Ana Ventura, Head of Family Office for Stonehage Fleming in Jersey, as well as their Group CEO, Giuseppe Ciucci, were there as key representatives in support of this local initiative. Sir Claude Francis Barry led an enigmatic life travelling across the world capturing different events, phases and styles across London, Moscow, Tuscany and the South of France. Described by some as “the greatest artist you’ve never heard of”, Sir Claude Francis Barry in his later life moved to Jersey where he remained until his death in 1970.
