In the light and airy National Hall at Olympia, you will find thousands of rare, unusual and unique items offered for sale by 180 leading UK and international dealers. At the Fair you can view, handle and buy books, maps, prints, photographs, manuscripts, ephemera and original art work spanning the centuries, many items of museum quality. All items are freely available for inspection before purchase and in contrast to the e-book or downloaded text, here you may hold a remarkable piece of history in your hand. You can purchase a text as it first came off the printing press and bound by a craftsman hundreds of years ago - or the very latest collectable author’s first editions.

London Art Week
|
Date
|
Fri 28 June 2013 - Fri 5 July 2013
|
London Art Week is an exciting joint venture that unites Master Paintings Week and Master
Drawings and Sculpture Week (formerly Master Drawings London). The new collaboration will
provide a coherent platform, sharing advertising and creating a new online portal through
which the individual websites can be accessed. London Art Week will also produce a map
with the locations of all the participants making it easier for collectors to navigate the week.
More than 50 specialist dealers across the fine art disciplines and the major London auction
houses will take part in this new initiative.
Founding member of Master Drawings London, Lowell Libson, comments, “London Art Week
gives buyers at every level an opportunity not only to see the finest works available, but also
to engage with dealers of unparalleled expertise and experience. I believe that this degree
of cooperation between dealers in different disciplines, as well as the auction houses, would
be unachievable in any other major ‘Art City’.”
The strength of the format of London Art Week lies in its simplicity. By joining together to hold
a series of coordinated exhibitions in galleries throughout the West End at the same time that
the auction houses hold their major sales, specialist dealers in these disciplines are giving
collectors, both private and institutional, the opportunity to view the full range of works available on the market. During the first weekend, all the participants’ doors will be open
giving visitors the opportunity to look at works of art at their leisure.
“We welcome this initiative which strongly underlines the unique and unrivalled
connoisseurship and expertise to be found in the art trade in London,” comments Johnny
Van Haeften, co-founder of Master Paintings Week. “The old cliché of the fusty gallery is
totally out of date and we want people to discover just how accessible we are and what
treasures we hold.” Alex Toscano of Trinity Fine Art, representing the sculpture dealers,
added “the inclusion of sculpture galleries in London Art Week is both exciting and logical”.
London Art Week will serve to promote specialist dealers and their works in all three
disciplines, while encouraging collectors and enthusiasts to visit exhibitions in the galleries. By
displaying the objects in intimate gallery settings located in Mayfair and St James’s, the
event will encourage the building of relationships between clients and dealers.
