Master Paintings Week
Now in its third year and established as one of the key art events in London’s summer calendar, Master Paintings Week is a collaboration between twenty-three leading galleries and three auction houses that takes place from 1 to 8 July 2011. This week of exhibitions and events offers a wonderful selection of European paintings dating from the 15th to the 20th centuries and coincides with the Old Master sales at Bonhams, Christie’s and Sotheby’s and another dealer initiative, Master Drawings London (1 to 8 July). Several new discoveries will be featured, emphasising the unrivalled expertise that is to be found in London. IMAGE: Sir William Nicholson (1872-1949)Sixteen designs for playing cards (illus.
