Grafitti goes mainstream

Urban art and graffiti has become a credible contemporary medium in recent years, and in celebration of this Selfridges are hosting the largest gathering of this type of art from around the world in their seriously cool Ultralounge on the Lower Ground Floor of their store on Oxford Street, London.

The exhibition will run until 1st June, with all works to be auctioned off by Dreweatts in The Village Underground, in Shoreditch on the 17th June. The real stars of the show are Banksy - who is showing some rare works, including ‘Portrait of an Artist’ one of his early prints from 1999, estimated to reach £150,000 - £200,000 at auction - and Nick Walker whose ‘Mood Board’ is set to reach up to £60,000 in the sale. Other artists exhibiting in the show include Mau Mau, Mudwig and Dicy.

This week London's Victoria & Albert Museum is abuzz with the opening of the new William and Judith Bollinger Jewellery Gallery, displaying 3500 jewels from the V&A’s impressive jewellery collection. The exhibit focuses largely on European jewellery during the last 800 years, with some of the finest designs from the great jewellery houses Cartier and Tiffany alongside exhibition highlights including a stunning jewelled pendant belonging to Queen Elizabeth the first. And in celebration of this, the V&A shop has created the ‘Cherry on the Cake’ designer collection, enlisting everyone from the Burlesque glamourpuss Dita Von Teese and Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry to designers Betty Jackson and John Rocha, to design a piece of jewellery for the store. We love Dita Von Teese’s typically flamboyant Demi Pareo brooch and earrings set, £995, from the V&A shop. Read more
