DINNER AT BERTOZZI AND CASONI STUDIO

We visited Bertozzi & Casoni's studio in the outskirt of Bologna last weekend when we were in town for the Bologna Art Fair.


what a massive studio!

This is where the magic happens

organised chaos

yep, they are all made of ceramic - waiting to be painted!
"We are working for you"

LUCIAN FREUD: PAINTER as PRINTMAKER and more

It is only as we have had a brief hiatus that we have realised there is actually someone out there checking out this blog, thank you to those who raised their concerns and support, you know who you are and we promise to keep this going and update more regularly! x


With such a line up who would resist not to attend? 
Printer's Proof: Etching by Lucian Freud from
(Marc Balakjian) Studio Prints Archive

Bella's etching in three stages

Comprising 45 prints, this panel presents a unique insight into Freud’s printmaking and his twenty-five year relationship with the printer, Marc Balakjian, that realised his vision.  What a rare treat!

Martin Gayford sitting in front of the projection of his 
painting and etching by Freud.

Also on view is the "Generation Y Collectors"...

... showcasing works of art from the collections of 30 new collectors

Getting the Burlington Gardens space back after three years'
tenancy of Haunch of Venison, Christies is definitely making
full use of it! Also on view is the forthcoming
"Living with Art" sale taking place next month.

and a sneak preview of the Contemporary Art evening sale!
