MASTERPIECE LONDON CONFIRMS PLANNING PERMISSION FOR FORMER CHELSEA BARRACKS SITE

Masterpiece London is delighted to confirm that planning permission has been granted for this year’s inaugural fair which will take place at the former Chelsea Barracks, London SW1 between 24-29 June 2010. Peachy Deegan just loves London...she used to live there, and of course she is partly English (some ancestors of hers came over on the Mayflower). We absolutely worship the English language with a name like Whom You Know, and we are very excited about Masterpiece London.

Residing opposite the prestigious Royal Hospital Chelsea and ideally situated in the heart of central London, Masterpiece London will be held in a Stabilo-designed bespoke structure on the site. Visitors will enjoy a remarkable array of works of art, from fine and decorative arts to contemporary design, vintage cars and other premium collectors’ items.

Nicola Winwood, Fair Director of Masterpiece London says: “We are delighted to confirm that Masterpiece London will be taking place on the site of the former Chelsea Barracks in 2010. In collaboration with the Royal Hospital Chelsea, we have been working extremely hard over the past few months and we look forward to delivering a world-class event for the local community and indeed the city of London.”

This exciting news follows the recent announcement of a number of newly-confirmed exhibitors who will be participating at the Fair. Joining A La Vieille Russie (USA), MacConnal-Mason, Marchant, SJ Phillips, Peter Finer and the Tomasso Brothers are the distinguished names of Anthony Woodburn, Cahn International (Switzerland), Offer Waterman, Galerie Steinitz (France), Vanderven & Vanderven (The Netherlands) and Wartski. These illustrious names, amongst others, will be exhibiting alongside the established founders Mallett, Ronald Phillips, Apter-Fredericks and Asprey as Masterpiece London seeks to showcase some of the greatest works on a scale not seen in the capital since the Great Exhibition of 1851.

Thomas Woodham-Smith, Chairman of the Masterpiece London Board comments: “With the green light from Westminster City Council, we are very pleased that we can continue the development of this new and exciting event, which will showcase the very ‘best of the best’, setting a new standard in terms of elegance, quality and expertise. Over the next month a number of major high-profile collaborations and details of the Masterpieces to be showcased at the event will be announced.”

Masterpiece London is set to attract art lovers and enthusiasts on a global level, as the Fair reinforces the capital as a leading artistic and cultural hub, whilst showcasing a plethora of leading international names, including Fabergé, Lalique and Cartier to name but a few.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
