The Art of Food and Drink at Christie's

In the run-up to the auction itself (at 2pm on Jan 16), Christie's South Ken will be display to the public a vast range of food and drink items: perhaps Claes Oldenburg's Profiterole or a Keith Haring coffee service will catch your eye, maybe a 1920s German food hamper or set of six silver-plated placecard holders in the shape of biplanes will prompt a wry smile. Ranging in date from the Miocene (some fossilised scallops from southern France, since you ask) to a Warhol-signed Campbell's soup tin, this should be a brilliantly entertaining exhibition.
