Anila Quayyum Agha is a Pakistani-American artist who works in a cross-disciplinary fashion with mixed media. She creates artwork that explores global politics, cultural multiplicity, mass media, and social and gender roles. Agha is perhaps best known for her immersive, large-scale light installations in which she laser-cuts elaborate patterns into three-dimensional cubes. Suspended and lit from within, the cubes cast lace-like, floor-to-ceiling shadows that transform the surrounding environment, alluding to the richly ornamented public spaces such as mosques that Agha was excluded from as a female growing up in Lahore.
Anny Shaw is a contributing editor for The Art Newspaper, reporting on auctions, art fairs and market news globally since 2011, and is also a regular contributor to the Financial Times.

Minerals, masterpieces of the natural world that include precious gemstones and some of the rarest substances on earth, have been coveted and collected by royal enthusiasts and other elite members of societies throughout history. Today these natural wonders are sought after by a much wider range of collectors. From prominent museums to high-net-worth individuals and celebrities, mineral specimens can be as highly prized as art and antiques, or like fine wines and vintage cars.
If you have a keen eye for colour and aesthetics and an appreciation for some of the rarest and most beautiful objects on earth – or just a passing interest in one of the most rapidly growing and appreciating fields of collecting – then this presentation is for you.
Please join moderator Fatema Ahmed from Apollo magazine, along with panel members Joel Bartsch, Daniel Tranchillo and Alan Hart – a museum director, a leading international dealer and an expert in the science of mineralogy and in collection development, respectively: three figures who are at the forefront of a resurgence in collecting and investing in the finest natural gems and crystals that nature has to offer.

This talk gives an insight into the scope of William Klein’s career and why his approach to photography and image-making was pioneering. He is well known for his fashion photography and distinctive gritty style of street photography together with his unconventional approach to subject matter. This talk will consider all aspects of his career including his training as a painter and work with film set against the wider context of art historical developments at the time, particularly Surrealism. Alongside this, the conversation will reference the major William Klein retrospective on show at the International Center for Photography in New York from June to September 2022.
The talk will also explore the relationship between artist and gallery and the long-term friendship between William Klein and Marcus Bury, co-founder of HackelBury Fine Art Gallery.
“I came from the outside, the rules of photography didn’t interest me. There were things you could do with a camera that you couldn’t do with any other medium – grain, contrast, blur, cock-eyed framing, eliminating or exaggerating grey tones and so on…… I thought it would be good to show what’s possible, to say that this is a s valid of a way of using the camera as conventional approaches.” WK

Welcome to Encountering Beauty, a series of podcasts brought to you by Masterpiece London. I’m Thomas Marks, editor of Apollo magazine, and in these podcasts we’ll be exploring the enduring relevance and resonance of what have long been some of the most revered and versatile materials that artists have had at their disposal.
In each conversation I’ll be joined by two art dealers who exhibit at the leading art fair that is Masterpiece London – experts in different artistic fields or periods that nevertheless share particular materials between them. We’ll explore everything from wood and ceramic to marble and bronze; discussing how artists have handled, worked and transformed these materials; and why they’re prized by collectors today.
In this episode we’ll be hearing about precious stones – about how artists and patrons have lusted for their lustre across civilisations, and of how their brilliance has thrilled beholders over centuries. We’ll learn how the meanings of different stones have shifted over time and as they’ve crossed borders, and about how changing techniques of cutting or working with them have added new facets to their appeal.
I’m delighted to be joined by Sandra Cronan, one of London’s leading antique jewellery specialists, who handles important jewels from the 17th to the early 20th century; and by Keegan Goepfert, former vice president of Les Enluminures, the New York-, Chicago- and Paris-based experts in manuscript illumination – and who also focus on rings and jewellery from the medieval and Renaissance periods. It’s great to have you both with me…

Hello and welcome to Masterpiece Conversations, a series of podcasts that in each episode brings together a leading curator and art dealer to offer a taste of what people are really talking about in a particular field.
I’m Thomas Marks, editor of Apollo magazine, and I’ll be your host for these discussions, in which we’re aiming to override the perceived ‘church and state’ separation between museums and the art market – or at least to explore what conversation and collaboration between them makes possible. We’ll be talking about what first drew our guests to their particular fields – and what’s really inspiring them right now about the art they’re immersed in. And we’ll dive into what the priorities are for museums and the market in that field at the moment – where they coincide and where they might productively diverge.
For this episode the focus is on contemporary sculpture. I’m delighted to be joined by Melanie Vandenbrouck, curator of sculpture at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and by Mica Bowman, director at Bowman Sculpture, specialists in sculpture from 1860 to the present day.
It’s great to have you both with me…
