Art & Design Fair
National Hall Olympia, London
The 20th Century Art & Design
Fair will have an exciting mix of
art, furniture, ceramics, objects
and jewellery from some of the
most important and influential
artists and designers of the
20th century. From the Arts and Crafts
movement, through Art Nouveau, Art Deco,
Modernism and Bauhaus to the very latest
designs of the last century.
Exhibitors who have committed already to this
year’s fair include Country Seat and Morgan
Greenwood with the finest furniture and objects
from eminent and international designers such
as Aalto and Bertoia, The Loschs from
Germany, specialising in Murano and
Scandinavian glass and Julian Hartnoll with
Kitchen Sink paintings, drawings and sculptures.
Charles Jeffreys Posters and Graphics will sell
pop graphics and posters from the fifties, sixties
and seventies by Lichtenstein, Warhol and
Martin Sharp and Deco Originals will bring Art
Deco furniture and sculptures. Fine pewter and
silver will be sold by Titus Omega and French
Art Nouveau glass of Galle and Daum from Mike
Weedon. Michel Jouchet from France will bring
European paintings, drawings, sculpture and
works of art, including Vasarely.
The loan exhibition for the Fair is a display of the
works of Verner Panton, the celebrated Danish
post-war furniture designer. Panton was
experimental and uncompromising in his
approach to furniture design. He believed that it
was his duty as a designer to exploit the most
advanced technology - therefore he chose metal
and plastics over wood. Using these materials
he created geometric forms that would set the
trend for the 1960s. Many of his most
controversial and exciting works will be shown in
the loan exhibition at the Fair, including some of
the rarer pieces.
Visitors to the Fair will also be able to enjoy, free
of charge, an exciting series of lectures
designed to increase their knowledge of some
of the most important developments in art and
design during the 20th century. The lecture
programme can be found online. Speakers
include experts from all disciplines. Advance
booking is advised. Tel: 020 7370 8345.
The Fair is a part of the ARTS Olympia series of
events. ARTS Olympia is a fortnight celebration
of the arts in the Olympia Exhibition Centre
between the 8th and the 19th of June. As well as
