The article discusses the author's experience at the Wallace Collection during a final book tour stop. The highlight was viewing Poussin's Dance to the Music of Time, showcased next to a bronze copy of the Borghese Dancers. The author reflects on a live radio appearance on Start the Week, where he joined notable figures to discuss British art's evolution. Additionally, it highlights concerns regarding the London Old Master sales, which have seen a significant drop in artworks and participation compared to previous years, suggesting a trend away from London's prominence in the art market.

"The highlight was being shown Poussin's Dance to the Music of Time in its special new room."

"One experienced observer told me plainly: 'The art market has left London.' I don't think that's right, but it does seem to be leaving."
