Art Brokerage: Don Bachardy American Artist: Born in Los Angeles, California, Don Bachardy was the life partner of writer Christopher Isherwood, whom he met on Valentine's Day 1953, when he was 18 and Isherwood was 48. They remained together until Isherwood's death in 1986. A number of paperback editions of Isherwood's novels feature Bachardy's pencil portraits of the author. A film about their relationship, titled Chris & Don: A Love Story, was released in 2008. Bachardy studied at the Chouinard Art Institute in Los Angeles and the Slade School of Art in London. His first one-man exhibition was held in October 1961 at the Redfern Gallery in London. In January 2010 he showed a retrospective of self portraits (from 1959 - 2009) at Craig Krull Gallery in Santa Monica. Coming up in Fall of 2011, Bachardy will be exhibiting portraits made over the last 40 years depicting acclaimed artists from Southern California. Listings wanted.
