Remembering Thomas Neurath, who brought single-minded energy and intellectual bravura to leading the publishers Thames & Hudson

Thomas Neurath, who led the independent publishing house Thames & Hudson for nearly sixty years, has died. The son of founder Walter Neurath, Thomas took over the company in 1967 after his father's early death and built it into one of the most respected imprints for illustrated art books. Known for his single-minded energy and intellectual bravura, he forged close relationships with artists including David Hockney and Barbara Hepworth, and maintained the firm's independence as a family business. His personal collection included works by Oskar Kokoschka and Egon Schiele, and he was an avid book collector who combined business travel with museum visits.
