London Art Week
Anthony Crichton-Stuart has joined the board of London Art Week.
Dealer Anthony Crichton-Stuart has joined London Art Week as a board member.
Now a director of dealership Agnews, Crichton-Stuart spent much of his career at Christie’s, working in the Old Master paintings department in both London and New York. He returned to London in 2009 and joined the revamped Thos Agnew & Sons in 2013 after the long-established dealership (founded in 1817) was acquired by a new American owner.
Crichton-Stuart said: "I have always enjoyed participating in London Art Week as it is one of the most collegial art events in the world. Last year the LAW team adapted quickly to the restrictions the pandemic inflicted on the art market and I particularly enjoyed contributing to talks and articles, which helped engage with curators and collectors, old and new, around the world.”
London Art Week started its spring edition of its online lectures, tours and webinars called Art History In Focus this month. For a list of events visit: https://londonartweek.co.uk/arthistoryinfocus2021/
