Another celebrated American artist is James McNeill Whistler, and on the eve of a new exhibition of his work, we discover why he has never been so collectable.
Also booming in demand are prints. If you’re new to the field of the art market, expert Helen Rosslyn present a complete guide to the medium to get your collection started.
Elsewhere in this month’s Antique Collecting, we go behind the scenes of an exhibition which reunites pieces from the collection of Horace Walpole, temporarily rehoused in his legendary gothic home, Strawberry Hill in Twickenham.
And as international relations enter a particularly strained period, bringing back echoes of the cold war, memorabilia expert Paul Fraser considers the market for spy gadgetry from the earlier era.

There’s also a glimpse inside a Staffordshire country house accompanied by auctioneer Charles Hanson, English furniture dealer and expert David Harvey looks at the differences between two Chippendale chairs, and our saleroom spotlights focuses on the collection of the late comedian Robin Williams, and a single owner collection of Stuart Devlin gold and silver designs.
