Art is how we make sense of our world. It emboldens us with a new sense of understanding and empathy whilst raising questions about the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGreat work inherently challenges our perception of ourselves \u2026 [It] pushes you beyond your own personal experience and into the experience of the artist and their intent. It helps us grow as individuals,” says Corrie Jackson, senior curator for Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), which returns as principal partner of this year’s Masterpiece London Art Fair <\/a> (Masterpiece) for the ninth year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a sense, this year’s Masterpiece captures that growth. It features works from antiquity to the present day, spanning cultural and social experiences across the globe, including a selection of works from the bank’s collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a distinct undertone to this year’s Masterpiece – it is the first in-person edition since 2019. Having moved to digital-only events during the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s art fair is taking place in a world that has been transformed digitally, socially and experientially \u2013 a world in which art is an inherently different experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
