With exhibitors including Theo Fennell, Hemmerle, Maserati and Jaeger-LeCoultre, and food provided by Le Caprice, Scott’s and The Ivy, Masterpiece London, now in its sixth edition, is all about the finer things in life (until 1 July). This includes a broad range of fine art, fr om antiquities to contemporary, that sit comfortably in the tent, designed and built by Stabilo, the company also responsible for the Tefaf, Maastricht tent. Masterpiece does have a feel of the Dutch fair, but is weighted much more towards the luxury arena and its cross-collectors rather than museums and trade specialists. One of the fair's strengths is its timing, says the Rome-based dealer Alessandra di Castro: “It coincides perfectly with the Impressionist and Modern auctions this week, post-war and contemporary next week, and London Art Week—everybody is here.”
