Early, Modern, and Contemporary Works on Paper for sale at leading Art Fair presenting old and new works, integrated in one space.

Visitors can view and buy from a range of Early, Modern and
Contemporary art dealers and see Museum quality art presented in four interconnected galleries on one floor, this time on Level One. Prices start at a manageable level: £200 - £500 for mounted drawings, the majority of works are priced between £500 to £10,000, and then the exceptional items at £10,000 plus.

The defining elements of this Fair:
All the art for sale is a work on paper, whether it is a print, drawing, watercolour, poster or photograph
The art has been created by artists from the early 17th Century right up to the present day
The work is original, of high quality, and vetted by experts
References and themes in art can be identified and tracked through the centuries

The Fair is supported by an extensive programme of events. Visitors can:

Sign up for free talks by the experts at 3 pm each day and find out more about the pictures for sale. They can gain an insight into the vetting process where all the works are examined by experts who assess them for quality, value and authenticity.

Ask for a specialised guided tour to see the highlights of the Fair.
Meet friends in the Veuve Clicquot Champagne Bar or Café on the first floor within the Fair.

Listen to free live music by classical and jazz musicians during the later evenings on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

The Fair is supporting The National Open Art Competition, who will present 10 of their prize winning contemporary artists’ works on paper. “We are working together to highlight the best of contemporary art” Neil Lawson Baker, Chairman of NOAC.

New this year, visitors can try their hand at printmaking led by the City & Guilds of London Art School Printmakers, who are partners with the Fair for their second year, building on the success of the 2012 Artist in Residence programme.

Don’t miss the 2013 Loan Exhibition:
“The Conquest of the Skies”

A selection of little known original works focusing on the fascination of ballooning, chosen from the Science Museum Art Collection and jointly curated by Harry Moore-Gwyn, specialist in Modern British pictures and Boris Jardine, Curator of History of Science at the Science Museum.
This is a rare chance to see these works by artists such as Rowlandson, Gillray, Seppings-Wright and Tissandier, as they have been retrieved from the archives, conserved and framed and will be on show for 4 days only. They have never been presented to the public before.
