Former England Davis Cup captain turned entrepreneur, David Lloyd purchased the remaining Willard Wigan collection of micro sculptured art in February 2007, The collection was subsequently insured by Lloyd’s of London for £11.2 million.

A long time anonymous collector of art, David Lloyd’s purchase has been viewed by many as a significant coup in the art world.

Willard whose work has been described by many as ‘the eighth wonder of the world’ received his MBE for services to art from HRH the Prince of Wales in July 2007.

Thereafter, Willard was commisioned by Lloyds of London to replicate the iconic Lloyd’s of London Building as designed by the award winning architect, Lord Richard Rogers. The difference however being that Willard's masterpiece was on a pinhead, which was then sold by Eric Knowles (Bonham’s Fine Art) for £94,000.

From October 2007, the David Lloyd Gallery will be undertaking a touring exhibition of Willard’s work around the United Kingdom. Willard is then scheduled to tour America and Canada.
