Nearly 50 exhibitors are down to attend this year’s fair (formerly the 20/21 British Art Fair), which runs from September 20-23 at the Saatchi Gallery. They include Richard Green, Jonathan Clark, Flowers Gallery and Bowman Sculpture.
Offer Waterman and Browse & Darby are among those returning for this year’s event after several years away, and Rupert Maas is back for the first time since the 1990s.
The boost in numbers follows the fair’s move to the new gallery venue – confirmed shortly after its sale by founders Gay Hutson and Bunny Wynn to brothers Robert and Johnny Sandelson earlier this year.
It was previously at the Royal College of Art, but was held at the much smaller Mall Galleries last year with only 34 dealers. The event is now spread across three floors and includes two special exhibitions (a new feature). One is on Ivon Hitchens, mounted by Jonathan Clark, and the other on Anthony Caro and John Golding, by Piano Nobile.
Browse & Darby’s Charlie Bradstock said: “We weren’t that happy with the previous venues. Good dealers go to this fair and it needed a better setting. The Saatchi Gallery is a good space, so we’re optimistic.”
Among the first-time exhibitors at this year's edition is Jenna Burlingham and those returning as usual include Andrew Sim and Freya Mitton.
"I'm looking forward to it," Sim told ATG. "It's great that Bunny & Gay's legacy can be built upon in such a great location, with a broader remit."
