The London Contemporary Art Fair
The London Art Fair, now its 14th year, is the
largest and most important contemporary art fair
in Britain.
ART2002 features over one hundred
carefully selected galleries from throughout the
UK giving an unrivalled opportunity to access the
top galleries at one unique London venue.
The London Art Fair offers you the chance to
view and buy the most desirable contemporary
art, including painting, drawing, prints and one
off sculptural pieces.
From the biggest and most
collectable names to the newest faces, ART2002
represents a unique overview of the current art
scene.
Whilst including some of the most prestigious
names in British art, the Fair’s special focus has
always been on emerging artists and innovative
galleries, reflecting London’s unique reputation as
a hot bed for new talent. Artstart presents 18
younger cutting edge galleries which gives you a
route into the newest and most intriguing art
around.
Featuring one hundred leading galleries from throughout the UK, ART2002
represents a unique overview of the British art market. Exhibitors are
rigorously selected by an independent advisory panel to ensure the quality of
the works on show, which cover the full range of paintings, drawings,
sculpture and prints. START, a special area now well established at
ART2002, will feature a carefully selected group of younger galleries showing
the latest work by talented newcomers.
Lucy Field, Fair Director, said: "The role of London as a centre for the
discovery of new talent and the growth of the London Art Fair, generating in
excess of £12 million in sales, now places it amongst the top five art fairs in
Europe and the most important in Britain. We will continue to work with our
exhibitors to develop a new generation of collectors."
