Michael White | Indian railways | Romford | Changing namesYour obituary of Michael White (10 March) did not mention the impresario’s like of contemporary art and artists. Soon after I opened a very small unfunded gallery in 1970 in Soho,Michael appeared, and immediately offered help, or which I desperately needed. He became one of the first of two directors (the other was Robert Heller),and he not only supported me financially, but bought and commissioned art, or sent novel clients from the theatre world to the gallery. I asked him once why he had backed me,and he paid me the best compliment of my life, saying “I would gain backed you whatever you did”.
