Masterpiece London is On

The Antique Trade Gazette is reporting Masterpiece shows has been awarded the planning rights to Chelsea Barracks from June 24 to 29. This is one of many shows that will be replacing the Grosvenor House Antiques and Art show. The new Masterpiece fair has commitments from 15 dealers including A La Vieille Russie (USA), MacConnal-Mason, Marchant, S.J. Phillips, Peter Finer, Tomasso Brothers, Mallett, Ronald Phillips, Apter-Fredericks and Asprey, Anthony Woodburn, Cahn International (Switzerland), Offer Waterman, Galerie Steinitz (France), Vanderven & Vanderven (The Netherlands) and Wartski.

The month of June in London is turning out to be a true destination point for antique and art collectors.Given the amount of shows and fine and decorative art and activity planed for London in June, I would think there has to be a fair amount of confidence in the marketplace based upon promoter events and dealer interest.

The ATG reports

Masterpiece London is now officially one of a group of arts and antiques fairs that, while in competition for exhibitors, promise to make this year’s London high season among the busiest ever.

After 75 years, Grosvenor House may have gone but in its place are: David Lester’s revamped London International Fine Art Fair at Olympia (June 4-13); the Haughtons’Art Antiques London fair in Kensington Gardens (June 9-16); The Berkeley Square Art & Antique Fair organised by Patrick Perrin and Stéphane Custot (June 24-27) and Masterpiece London (June 24-29).

Caroline Penman’s new West London Art & Antiques Fair at the Kensington Town Hall (June 3-6) and the second Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair, this year in the ballroom complex of the Park Lane Hotel (June 9-12), add to a crowded month full of choice.
