THIS year promises more galleries, new artists and even more choice, from contemporary rising stars to world-renowned names including Picasso and Hockney. This is London’s friendliest art fair – bringing together more than 70 exceptional galleries from across the UK and beyond, carefully selected for their quality, diversity and originality. The fair reflects a broad and thoughtful mix of practices and price points, from paintings to photography, and bronze to ceramics. Whether you’re drawn to bold new voices, established names you know and love, or original work in a range of mediums, this year’s fair is a lively showcase of what makes today’s art scene so exciting.
