Lucy Mitchell-Innes and David Nash parlayed their extensive experience at Sotheby’s – where Mitchell-Innes headed the worldwide contemporary division, and Nash led Impressionist and Modern – into a New York gallery.

Their daughter Josephine first tried another career, working on Charlie Rose’s television show. ‘That was intense, and she wanted a break,’ says Mitchell-Innes. ‘I said, “You can sit in the front and answer the phone.” She showed natural leadership quite quickly.
