20/21 BRITISH ART FAIR - LONDON 2008
 The 20/21 BRITISH ART FAIR, the only fair specialising exclusively in modern and contemporary British art, will take place at the Royal College of Art, Kensington Gore, London SW7 from 10 to 14 September. CELEBRATING TWENTY-ONE YEARSWhen it started in 1988 - as The 20th Century British Art Fair - the market for Modern British art was comparatively small and work by most of the artists represented could be bought at a fraction of the prices they now command. Few would have predicted the enormous rise of interest - not just in British art but in art worldwide - which has occurred in the last few years and, today, this market has now grown beyond all expectation with record prices regularly being achieved. At the Royal College of Art, which can justly be called the spiritual home of modern and contemporary British art, almost 60 of the UK’s leading dealers show all the great names of the 20th century: Bacon, Caro, Freud, Frink, Frost, Hepworth, Hockney, Hodgson, Lanyon, Lowry, Moore, Nash, Piper, Riley, Scott, Sutherland and Spencer. Alongside is a large selection of work by contemporary artists, some of whom already have international reputations - Hirst, Emin, Grayson Perry etc. and others who may be the stars of tomorrow. The 20/21 BRITISH ART FAIR, offers a great opportunity to see a bank of work under one very prestigious roof and to meet all these experts. Whether your taste is for the earlier work, Scottish Colourists, pop art or the contemporary, the breadth and depth of over a hundred years of British art may well surprise. With prices from the low hundreds to hundreds of thousands, it is not to be missed! Date Information: 10 - 14 September 2008 Wed 3-9pm; Thurs 11am-8pm; Fri/Sat 11am-7pm; Sun 11am-6pm OFFICIAL OPENING: 5pm on 10th September Location Information: Royal College of Art Kensington Gore London SW7 More Information: www.britishartfair.co.uk For further information telephone: +44 (0)20 8742 1611 or email: info@britishartfair.co.uk |
