Sir, In her article ("Birth of a power bloc", Collecting, March 9)
on art from the ex-Soviet Caucasus and Central Asia exhibited at
Sotheby's earlier this month, Rachel Spence painstakingly listed
all the nations of the region bar one: Armenia. This omission is
especially puzzling as nearly a fifth of artists and some of the
strongest artworks on display came from this tiny republic.
Something similar occurred in Charlotte Sinclair's report on Baku
as a glamorous destination ("Baku to the future", Smart Arts, How
To Spend It, February 16). While listing every one of Azerbaijan's
neighbours the author left out the one country, Armenia, with which
it shares one of its longest, and troubled, borders.
