Current Art Exhibitions in London in relation to Arts on Stamps

This posting is addressed to the hundreds of art stamp collectors world
wide, who are also my regular correspondents and lurkers on this group, and
who might happen to be in or around London over the next couple of months.

In today's London Times

there is an extensive listing by Rachel Campbell-Johnston who previews this
autumn's art blockbusters, so that you can book now to beat the queues. Many
of the art works displayed on either of the mentioned exhibitions are also
available on stamps, of which you can see some samples on my sites.
