LONDON.-London Art Fair – the UK’s largest and most established Modern British and Contemporary art fair – returns to the Business Design Centre, Islington in January for its 19th edition. The Fair is the first major event of the British art calendar, and its emphasis on quality and accessibility has built it a reputation as being uniquely approachable for established collectors and casual visitors alike.

One hundred of the UK’s leading galleries have been rigorously selected for the Fair in 2007, presenting a broad range of work spanning early 20th century British Art to recent contemporary practice.

Many living artists are represented from Grayson Perry, Keith Coventry and Candida Höfer to Bridget Riley, Peter Blake and Howard Hodgkin. The Fair’s contemporary work is exhibited alongside influential figures of Modern British art such as Barbara Hepworth, John Piper, Peter Lanyon and William Scott. Galleries represented include Alan Cristea, Flowers East, Jonathan Clark and Richard Green with a number of galleries new to the Fair in 2007, including Osborne Samuel, Sims Read and Ben Brown Fine Arts.

Museum quality pieces are sold for up to £500,000 at the Fair, while new collectors can find work to invest in from as little as £50. The Fair strongly supports the print market, with prominent new editions being launched by exhibitors each year.
