Viewing Asian Art in London

Asian Art in London is a year-round initiative promoting the presence of Asian Art across the UK, culminating in a week long annual celebration in London, with performances, gallery talks, openings, as well as exhibitions and auctions.

This year’s 28th edition promises a stellar line-up: highlights include free evening viewings of Asian art on Kensington Church Street, St James and Mayfair, and a private view Dimensions: Contemporary Chinese Studio Crafts at the V&A this evening – the first time Asian Art in London has partnered with the V&A.

Asian art week is also taking over the auction houses: don’t miss Sotheby’s online Asian Art/5000 Years auction, from 30 October–7 November, featuring objects from five millennia of Asian art history, a diverse showcase that includes works of art from across the continent. The Chinese Art auction, meanwhile, taking place on 5 November, includes several private collections offered to the market for the first time, encompassing the full range of China’s artistic tradition.
