£3m Jewel theft at Masterpiece
July 8 2017
Picture: Masterpiece
Not art news this, but I was interested to see that thieves had struck at the annual Masterpiece fair in London. Apparently £3m worth of jewellery has been stolen. When I was working at Masterpiece (in my Philip Mould Gallery days) conjuring up schemes to steal some prized gem from a neighbouring booth was a way we exhibitors used to pass the time. Perhaps someone has gone one step too far this time...
