Master Drawings in London
art fairs england July 4 - 10, 2009
London
Collecting drawings is a passion, maybe a disease, that unites us whether we are museum curators, private collectors, dealers or just what in the 18th century were called ‘amateurs.’ Let us track back to that great Georgian era of connoisseurship, Britain was then veritably, as Mariette said, the ‘Print Room of Europe’. Great cabinets of drawings were being assembled by King George III, milordi inglesi on the Grand Tour and by a host of artists - stretching back to Lely and through the Richardsons to Reynolds, West, Cosway, Thane and Lawrence. Where have all those artist virtuosi gone? Can one imagine Tracey Emin or Rachel Whiteread putting together a small, carefully selected, collection of drawings? Indeed to an almost frightening extent the British passion for collecting OMDs has shifted across the pond to New York, Chicago, and California.
