Our client, Christopher Bishop (owner of Christopher Bishop Fine Art), has acquired the premier art fair Master Drawings in New York (MDNY). The fair, held annually in January in New York City, focuses on works on paper and features several important galleries, as well as programs with leading institutions, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Frick Collection, Christie’s, Sotheby’s, and the Hispanic Society Museum and Library. Christopher Bishop Fine Art, which specializes in drawings and paintings from the 15th through early 20th centuries, participated in MDNY for a decade, and Mr. Bishop was a former advisory board member to MDNY. With the acquisition of MDNY, Christopher Bishop Fine Art and Mr. Bishop have grown from exhibitors to organizers of this premier art fair.

We are proud to have worked with Christopher Bishop Fine Art during the past several years and to have served as legal counsel for this important acquisition. We are confident that MDNY will benefit from having Mr. Bishop at the helm of the institution, in no small part to his stellar reputation as a New York dealer who also has been successful in the European market.
