London holds exhibition of Asian art

Every June since 2010, a long white marquee has been erected at London's Kensington Gardens, opposite the Royal Albert Hall, to play host to the Art Antiques London. It is a fair of which some 80 galleries showcase their artworks, in an event billed as a cultural highlight of the British summer.

At this year's fair (June 12-18), a special exhibition titled, The Asian Art in London's Pavilion, presented exquisite works from more than two dozen leading dealers of Asian art.

The pavilion at the Art Antiques London, featured a wide range of antique and contemporary pieces including Chinese porcelain, jade, cloisonne enamels, textiles and gilt bronzes of Tibetan people, Japanese netsuke and lacquered pieces and Indian miniatures and stone sculptures.
