London Art Fair: Modern British & Contemporary Art
Visited 19/01/2012
The 24th London Art Fair, held at Business & Design Centre, Islington 18-22 January 2012. Hundreds of dealers and galleries all under one roof.
After a somewhat underwhelming visit to Frieze in late 2011, I was dubious about visiting another fair. However, I was pleasantly surprised by London Art Fair. Tickets were reasonable, 11£, including a copy of a guide.
I particularly enjoyed the stands held by TAG Arts, Catlin and Rise Art. Rise Art's Scott Phillps was very helpful and engaged in the work.
For me the best part of the fair was Photo50: 'The New Alchemists: Contemporary Photographers Transcending the Print'. This collection would have stood as an individual exhibition in any contemporary gallery.
