Vietnamese artwork on display in London

The Affordable Art Affair taking place in London, featuring a mixed collection of traditional and contemporary paintings by Raquelle Arzan - a US collector of Contemporary Vietnamese Fine Art, is attracting worldwide attention.

The event is being staged at a gallery operated by Raquelle Arzan who has spent the last 20 years collecting and introducing Vietnamese artwork to the international public.


Raquelle Arzan first started collecting Vietnamese paintings in 1991 on her very first visit to Vietnam. She says the artistry has always evoked in her an emotional sense of surprise as well as delight.

She had previously introduced Vietnamese artwork to the UK, one of the cradles of the artistic and cultural in the world, in 2002 and has been instrumental in introducing it in numerous other places throughout the world such as Belgium, Germany, Israel, the U.S and Singapore.

This year, the collection will be featured in 113 art galleries from the UK, Spain, Italia, the Netherlands and the US.
