The Park Crescent,exterior facade
In the most glamorous and luxurious property event in London this year, Amazon Property are launching The Park Crescent, overlooking Regent’s Park, timed to coincide with the annual Frieze London art fair.
Amazon Property have collaborated with leading art curator House of the Nobleman to transform six of the dressed residences into a special Post-War and Contemporary art exhibition to take place during London’s Frieze Week including works by Alexander Calder, Joan Miro, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Victor Vasarely, Robert Rauschenberg and Yayoi Kusama. These pieces have been sourced from official partners Alon Zakaim Fine Art and Lawrence Van Hagen alongside works from private collectors.
Frieze London will run between 6th and 9th October this year. The art exhibition in The Park Crescent will run for three weeks, from Monday 3rd October to Sunday 23rd October, with viewing by either invitation or by prior appointment. On the 6th October, the main launch event will be held in the 8 acres of private gardens at The Park Crescent. The Park Crescent is London’s only Royal crescent, designed by John Nash (1752-1835) and built in 1812-1820 as luxurious residences, many converted into offices in the late 20th Century; purchased by Amazon Property in 2013 and now meticulously restored to its original residential use providing two to four bedroom duplex, mezzanine and lateral residences.
On the 6th October the private gardens directly overlooking the Royal crescent will be transformed into a spectacular VIP venue with bespoke marquee providing reception, lounge, entertainment and cocktail bar areas complete with floodlighting in the beautiful gardens. Guests can enjoy the live music acts which include Laura Wright, one of HM The Queen’s favourite sopranos and official anthem singer for the England Rugby Team and Invictus Games; and saxophonist Huw Wiggins, Commonwealth Musician of the Year. Guests can also tour the private gardens and visit the previously unseen dressed residences and art exhibition at The Park Crescent.
