He brought Man Ray to London in 1969, collaborated with John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the “Acorn Event” and “Bag One – The Erotic Lithographs,” and worked closely with Andy Warhol and Charles Saatchi.

His other notable collaborations include Texaco, B.P., and Hugo Boss.
He served as a Trustee of the Whitechapel Art Gallery, a board member of the Rambert Dance Company, and currently sits on the Whitechapel Art Gallery Development Board.
