Here Comes Mr. Cass is an autobiographical account from Wilfred Cass, founder and pioneer of the Cass Sculpture Foundation, the acknowledged leader in commissioning and promoting new and monumental work from artists around the world. Spanning more than seven decades, Wilfreds story takes us from his Jewish family's escape to England from Nazi Germany in 1936, starting a bicycle repair business at the tender age of 11, to following in the footsteps of his illustrious ancestors, the Cassirer family. Navigating the twists and turns of his colourful career, Wilfred illustrates with a combination of text and photographs the string of successes that led him from the factory floor to the boardroom, from army fatigues to Savile Row suits. A lifetime of innovation and patronage mirrors that of his forefathers, blending past principles with modern vision to create the extraordinary.
