Two dealers who met at Kempton antiques fair have kept a group of loyal followers happy and entertained during lockdown with inspired Instagram posts.
Peter Last, a picture frame dealer in Bristol, and Daniel Hadden, an art dealer in East Sussex, have been recreating well-known pictures by dressing up at home every Friday. They launched the posts in September 2017 when they began photographing a frame with an alcoholic beverage and named it #alcoholandframes. But since lockdown the posts have extended to full recreations with alcohol and frames.
A number of high-profile museums have run similar projects during lockdown asking the public to pose as famous artworks including The Getty Center, in Los Angeles, and its GettyMuseumChallenge.
