Stuart founded the Russian department at Sotheby's London auction house in 1976, developed it to its leading position in the market and was considered the leading expert in Russian art outside of Russia.〔(Johnny Stuart, Obituary, The Telegraph, 21 Jul 2003 )〕 The son of a farmer, Stuart was educated at Eton College, converted to Russian Orthodoxy at the age of 18 and studied Slavonic Studies at St John's College, Cambridge.〔(Johnny Stuart, Obituary, The Scotsman, 4 Aug 2003 )〕 He co-curated an exhibitions of Russian icons "Gates of Mystery" at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London in 1990, and was an advisor for their 1994 "British Street Style" exhibition to which he loaned items from his collection. Stuart wrote the seminal book on the rocker movement and his knowledge of British youth culture made him a guru for actors and pop stars including the Rolling Stones, Oliver Tobias, George Michael, Gary Numan, Billy Idol, Brian Setzer of the Stray Cats, Paul Simonon of The Clash, and Kylie Minogue, many of whom he befriended.〔(Johnny Stuart, Obituary, The Independent, 22 July 2003 )〕 "Rockers, Kings of the Road" became notorious at the most shoplifted book in London.〔 ==Bibliography== * ''Ikons'', Faber & Faber (1975) * ''Russian & Greek Icons: From the Charles Pankow Collection of Russian & Greek Icons, Thirteenth Through the Nineteenth Century''.
