The Asian Art in London event that was founded in 1998, celebrates London as the international centre for expertise and excellence in Asian Art. Every autumn they co-ordinate a programme of events that showcase Asian art from their participants, who are leading international Asian art dealers, auction houses, museums and societies, through a series of gallery selling-exhibitions, auctions, late night openings and lectures.
This year is their 23rd edition and for the first time, the event is divided into two parts:
From 22nd – 31st October the focus is on Indian and Islamic Art.
From 29th October – 7th November the focus moves east to China, Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia.
