Don’t forget to visit London’s shops and galleries when in town for the multi-dealer events

Re: ‘In-cider knowledge needed…’, Letters, ATG Nos 2519/21.

Separated for over a century, a trio of small panels by Sir Edward John Poynter (1836-1919) have been reunited thanks to a dealer, an auction and two Australian Victorian art collectors.

The Maas Gallery, well-known specialist in Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite and Modern British pictures, is moving to larger premises in St James’s.

MADAM – A definition in your glossary is incorrect (ATG No 2382). Strictly, the terms verso and recto apply to books, meaning the left and right pages. Certainly they don’t both apply ‘to the back of a picture’.

Lifting the lid on what it takes to be an exhibitor at a TEFAF fair, ATG asked three dealers – one American, one British and one German – to chart their preparations, concerns and hopes as they head to Maastricht for the 2018 event. Compiled by Lisa Johnson.

Rupert Maas describes The Little Dancer by Glyn Philpot (1884-1937) as “a haunting masterpiece of figure painting in which a tense drama of maternal love and of awakening independence is played out before us”.
