It’s rather hard to find someone who limits their taste in art to only one category or period in time. That precisely explains the success of MASTERPIECE LONDON. Open for business from today until the 2nd of July, this renown fair is designed to open one’s eyes to new things, both old and new. A cross-collector’s paradise. We sure weren’t going to miss it!

Open for business from today until the 2nd of July, this renown fair is designed to open one’s eyes to new things, both old and new. A cross-collector’s paradise. We sure weren’t going to miss it!

160 dealers from all over the world are showing the best of what they have, and getting completely absorbed in it all is simply unavoidable. One minute you’re admiring a series of Old Masters sculptures and a step further you encounter a Miro, Picasso or Warhol painting. The variety of stands keeps you alert!

Here are just a few of the items that have caught our eye in this edition:
