Art London

Royal Hospital South Grounds, London

The UK’s Most Stylish Fair for Contemporary and Modern Art

Art London – the UK’s most stylish fair for contemporary and modern art – returns in 2007 for its 9th year. Art London will run from Thursday 4th to Monday 8th October 2007, with the official preview taking place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd October.
The fair showcases over 75 leading UK and international galleries – encompassing painting, sculpture, photography, works on paper, ceramics and glass – with prices ranging from £500 to £250,000.

The venue is a 65,000 square foot marquee set in the grounds of The Royal Hospital, Chelsea, London SW3. Due to the ever increasing number of exhibitors showing historically significant works, the organisers are once again dedicating a section of the fair to twentieth century and modern art.
Art London 2007 promises established greats juxtaposed with fresh new talent, presenting a diverse range of exhibiting galleries from Argentina, Australia, France and Hong Kong.
