"Despite the size, scale and complexity of #CorneliaParker's @Tate project, at @friezeofficial her works can be snapped up for less than £2000." @Frances_Allitt reports on the democratic nature of prints and our booth at #FriezeLondon, for @ATG_Editorial: https://t.co/lmcDZK5JIo

We offer our deepest condolences to the Royal Family.
HM Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) embodied steadiness, staying power and self-sacrifice, and we are grateful for her dedication and devotion to a lifetime of service.

@JulietBellow An old example but a good one is the return of Ramses I which had been in the Michael C Carlos Museum in Atlanta and was sent back to Egypt in 2002/03. (I am biased as it happened at my alma mater!)

Would you rather add to your art collection or give to charity? Actually there's no need to decide since many dealers will allow you to do both. https://t.co/YWH8OJIb4M
