Presented by Masterpiece London in partnership with Apollo, this series of three podcasts provides an insight into the works on show at this year’s Masterpiece fair. In the second episode, Sophie Barling talks to Melanie Vandenbrouck, sculpture curator at the V&A, about her selections for the fair’s ‘Sculpture Series’ – among them works by Zak Ové, Cathy Pilkington and Marie Watt. Pom Harrington discusses a rediscovered authorial presentation copy of Jane Austen’s Emma, at the booth of Peter Harrington this year, while Alessandra di Castro explores the history of a group of watercolours depicting Etruscan jewellery by the Roman jeweller and antiquities dealer Alfredo Castellani.
Masterpiece London is at the Royal Hospital Chelsea from 30 June–6 July.
