John Schaeffer was known for buying, selling and collecting some of the most valuable artwork to enter Australia, including a number of pre-Raphaelite pieces
Sydney art collector and businessman John Schaeffer has died following a traffic incident in the CBD on Monday. He was 79-years-old.
A spokesperson for St Vincent's Hospital said Mr Schaeffer "passed away peacefully at 8.50pm on Tuesday 14 July, with his family by his side". Mr Schaeffer immigrated to Australia from the Netherlands in the 1950s, where he established the Tempo Services cleaning business. Tempo came upon hard times in the mid-2000s, in part due to Mr Schaeffer's selling of his stakes in the company to fund his lifestyle.Il Dolce far niente
