Champagne Reception

Our Champagne Reception took place on Thursday 26th October 2023 at Sotheby’s, New Bond Street. The evening is a chance for Asian Art in London Participants to mark this year’s edition: to socialise with collectors, museum directors, curators, journalists and friends of Asian Art in London.

Showtime Photo Booth joined us at our 2022 gala party (pictured right), bringing their Retro Photo Booth for us to capture some fabulous memories of the night.

FLORA VESTERBERG VIDEO SERIES

Asian Art in London continues its video series with Flora Vesterberg, an art historian and broadcaster. In this episode, Flora visits the inspiring Wallace Collection to learn about two compelling examples of bejewelled Asian arms and armour. She meets Arthur Bijl, the Hutton McRoberts Assistant Curator of Ottoman, Middle Eastern and Asian Arms and Armour to discuss the two works of art and their significance within a wider collection that includes Sèvres porcelain as well as Venetian paintings by Canaletto and Rococo masterpieces.
