Art Brokerage: Jack Vettriano Scottish Artist: b. 1951. Jack Vettriano OBE born Jack Hoggan (born 17 November 1951), is a Scottish painter. His 1992 painting, The Singing Butler, became a best selling image in Britain. Vettriano, born in 1951, left school at 16 and did not take up painting full-time until the age of 40. The artist, who grew up in Methil, Fife, first found fame in 1989 when two of his canvases submitted to the Royal Scottish Academy sold on the first day. His work has since featured in exhibitions in Edinburgh, London and New York. He was made an OBE in 2003. One of his most famous paintings, The Singing Butler, sold for £744,000 in 2004 and is one of the best-selling posters in Britain. More than 123,000 people flocked to see the retrospective at Kelvingrove between September 2013 and February 2014, making it the most visited art exhibition at the institution. Actor Jack Nicholson and football legend Sir Alex Ferguson are among the owners of Vettriano's work. In May 2015, he was in an accident and dislocated his shoulder. Listings wanted by Art Brokerage.
