Our client, Christopher Bishop (owner of Christopher Bishop Fine Art), has acquired the premier art fair Master Drawings in New York (MDNY). The fair, held annually in January in New York City, focuses on works on paper and features several important galleries, as well as programs with leading institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and the Hispanic Society Museum and Library. Christopher Bishop Fine Art, which specializes in drawings and paintings from the 15th through early 20th centuries, participated in MDNY for a decade, and Mr. Bishop was a former advisory board member to MDNY. With the acquisition of MDNY, Christopher Bishop Fine Art and Mr. Bishop have grown from exhibitors to organizers of this premier art fair.
We are proud to have worked with Christopher Bishop Fine Art during the past several years and to have served as legal counsel for this important acquisition. We are confident that MDNY will benefit from having Mr. Bishop at the helm of the institution, in no small part to his stellar reputation as a New York dealer who also has been successful in the European market. You can read more about the news in The Art Newspaper.

This upcoming weekend our founder, Leila Amineddoleh, will be speaking at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Her discussion will be led during a members only “book talk” event for Cynthia Saltzman’s book Old World, New Masters. The talk is part of a series held in conjunction with Old Masters Now: Celebrating the Johnson Collection, an exhibition highlighting works from the astonishing trove of European art gifted to the city of Philadelphia by famed attorney John G. Johnson.
Leila’s sold-out event will delve the the fascinating history of art collecting, and the way in which valuable art and heritage items moved from Europe to the US during the late 19th century and early 20th century. The exodus of works leaving Europe and purchased by wealthy Americans formed the basis of some of the greatest museums and art institutions in the United States, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum, and the Frick Collection.
For those who haven’t seen the Johnson Collection, visit before it closes on February 19. The show not only examines beautiful works in the museum’s collection, but offers insights into the life of John G. Johnson (an influential and talented litigator), presents information on the authentication of art, and even provides information about art conservation.
