London Art Week 2024
 
An appetite for collecting drawings has existed since the Renaissance, but there has been a steady increase in interest in the past 15 years, not least with major exhibitions of Michelangelo, Bruegel, Rubens and more. It is perhaps little surprise that people are fascinated by the tactility of drawings in a digital world. This year’s London Art Week (LAW) has responded with a large-scale exhibition. Partnering with drawings-focused platform Trois Crayons, LAW will host a drawings hub at No 9 Cork Street, with 17 galleries and dealers from London, Paris, Antwerp and beyond presenting works from their collections in selling show 500 Years of Drawing.
