Having trouble viewing this email? Photographers capture London, city of union flags – the week in art An exhibition of European masters shows the capital as a city of pearly kings and bunting, as the Tate's Turbine Hall goes interactive – all in today's weekly art dispatch Jonathan Jones guardian.co.uk, Friday 20 July 2012 07.41 EDT Jump to comments (…) Selling point … Milon Novotny's shot of Middlesex market – part of Another London at Tate Britain.
