The exhibition 'Tracing Time', taking place from June 26 to July 5, 2023 at No. 9 Cork Street, is set to revitalize the London drawing market. Featuring works spanning 500 years, it will present 35 galleries, doubling participation since last year. With highlighted artists like Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo and Gustav Klimt, 'Tracing Time' offers a new perspective on the art market, coinciding with the Classic Art London event. Organized by an innovative platform co-founded by Sebastien Paraskevas, the exhibition reflects a shift towards more inclusive and unique fair models, as seen in similar initiatives in New York.
Henri Matisse declared in 1972: "A work without drawing is a house without a framework." The foundational medium is set to reinvigorate part of the London market with Tracing Time (26 June-5 July), a selling exhibition at No. 9 Cork Street of drawings from the past 500 years, in a format tailor-made for these challenging economic times.
Timed to coincide with the Classic Art London series of exhibitions in Mayfair and St James's (23 June-4 July), Tracing Time sits somewhere between a group show and a salon-style fair.
Trois Crayons, which takes its name from an Old Master draughtsmanship technique, joins a lineage of drawing fairs experimenting with alternatives to the standard fair model.
Allison Wucher, the executive director and co-founder of the New York-based non-profit and MDNY partner T, describes both approaches as "vital alternatives to the traditional art fair model".
