Richard Knight is a British art dealer. After an early career as a paintings restorer, he joined Colnaghi in 1984.[1] As Managing Director of Colnaghi he would bid on behalf of Neil MacGregor for the National Gallery, London.[2] Under Knight's leadership, Colnaghi came to be known for its academically rigorous exhibitions of Old Masters,[3] and its activity in New York.[4]
