Lincoln Seligman

Internationally recognised contemporary sculptor and painter.

Lincoln Seligman is a British artist, best known for his large-scale sculptures and murals displayed at modern landmark buildings worldwide.

Lincoln was born the eldest son of Madron Seligman, (a hereditary industrialist and a pro-European Member of the European Parliament for West Sussex from 1979 to 1984) and his wife, Nancy-Joan. He was educated at Harrow School and from there to Balliol College, Oxford. He was called to the Bar in 1973 and became a professional painter and sculptor in 1980. His godfather was Edward Heath, a close friend of his father.

After reading Law at Oxford University, Lincoln trained as a barrister and then joined a shipping company in the City of London. His heart was never really in the legal profession though and at the age of 30, he decided to pursue his real passion - the world of art.
