Artscoops Auction
Can you believe its April already? We hope you enjoyed the holidays and are ready for the next month packed with auctions, fairs and exhibitions. In particular, we are looking forward to attending Artscoops sale in Beirut on 14th April. Then Bonhams will be holding their sale in London on 18th April, followed by Sotheby's on 24th April.

Continuing our format of last month, we have grouped selected events into regions to help guide you to your favourite spot.

As usual too, we broaden out our art matters and inspiration sections to look at what else is going on in the art world: from the secrets of collectors to the secrets of the Lahore Fort in Pakistan.

Why not let us know what your favourite section is and your suggestions on what you would like to see featured.

With all best wishes from the Team.
