ART
Art, antiques and design fair Masterpiece London will be back in Chelsea in June, and chief executive Nazy Vassegh is looking forward to seeing the culmination of all the planning and effort behind the scenes. “We’ve all worked really hard. This is my first one, so just opening the doors will be exciting in itself, I think,” she says. This year, more than 160 exhibitors will bring pieces to the
fair, from jewellery to sculpture, and old masters to modern art. New initiatives include an outdoor sculpture walk, curated by Michael Hugh-Williams, and the Hong Kong Pavilion, part of a cultural exchange between Masterpiece London and the Chinese Arts and Heritage Festival.

The Hong Kong Pavilion will showcase highlights from galleries exhibiting at Fine Art Asia, while Masterpiece London will create the first ever European Pavilion at Fine Art Asia in Hong Kong in October.
Nazy has been working closely with fair director Nicola
Winwood. “She [Nicola] is responsible for delivering the fair, and I’m here to support her and work with her on that so we can deliver the best possible fair. In addition to that, I’m looking at strategy and development and initiatives and that whole, I suppose, holistic picture. But it’s very much a partnership,” she explains. Nazy’s experience across a variety of roles and disciplines has helped prepare her for her new position. She worked at Sotheby’s for nearly 20 years, covering areas from decorative art, contemporary art and jewellery to marketing. She set up and ran VIP client programme Sotheby’s Preferred, and became a senior director and managing director of European Impressionist and Modern Art in 2009.
