Leopold Zborowski

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leopold Zborowski (1889-1932) was a Polish poet and art dealer.

Zborowski and his wife Anna (Hanka Zborowska) were contemporaries with Parisian artists such as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Paul Cézanne, André Derain and Amedeo Modigliani, who painted their portraits.

Zborowski was Modigliani's primary dealer and confidant during the artist's final years and the first art dealer of René Iché, Marc Chagall and André Derain. There are three portraits of him by Modigliani. One of those, a 17 3/4" by 10 3/4" portrait sold for $1,464,000 at Sotheby's in 2003.
