Probably covered elsewhere, but wondered if there were any tips on stuff to look out for at the London Art Fair this week?

Photographs of the first atomic bomb tests, still stamped restricted, are among the unique works on offer at this year's London Art Fair.

i go every year. there is a lot of average stuff there, but hidden amongst it all, there are always a few gems. i'm going tomorrow night and really looking forward to it. last year the atmosphere was a bit damp...recession related, should be better this time

[Pattycakes]

Go see Richard Saltoun Fine Art, very interesting selection, and a very knowledgeable and interesting dealer!

Any idea which gallery was showing Sun7's stuff? I met him in Paris & took a look round his studio - some really amazing work.

agree on the framing!! some looked like they had been float mounted using blutack.

[cfellowes]

Did you mean Dominic Guerrini Fine Art? Didn't notice any Sun7 stuff, but they had quite a bit - Opie, Banksy, Hirst, Faile, Fairey...

Yes.

Having had a look around there last night, I took my wife around the show at lunchtime. (Even) She thought that the diamond dust Warhol was fantastic...

... can I justify nipping back tomorrow night.... Um...

[Jef Aerosol]

Yep, Sun7 is now represented by Caroline and Jérôme Leluel too (The French Art studio). I have been working with them for quite a while now and am very happy with the good job they've always been doing. Here are some of my most recent pieces they'll be showing at London Art Fair :



"Geisha", 90 x 180 cm
stencil + collage of japanese newspapers, on wood.
click on pic to enlarge





Brigitte Bardot, 75 x 75 cm (stencil + posca on paper pasted on wood)



Ray Charles, stencil on cardboard, 30 x 41 cm

[jusdeep]

Some nice Nathan Ford landscapes and portrais at Beaux Arts.

me too, a combination that shoudnt work, but does.

[Rottenpunk]

stay clear of the wine!!yuck !! the JD and syrup was much better, the Guy Dennings, Ron English and that Blake were top, also liked the American flag with bleaching affect, sorry forgot the artists name.

[schlomo]

Just been having a chat with your missus about it RP sounds like you both enjoyed different aspects! heading there myself this eve man, looking forward to it.

[F*X]

The flag is by Pam Glew

[Lettuce Bee]

the guys at Eyesore at the dogs really are nice guys with great prints... plus a good selection from Dominic and the Pam Glew is wonderful...

[jusdeep]

Didn't the Blake Warhol get released ages ago? Maybe it was just announced mid last year.
Anyone got any pictures from the show? First one I have missed in a while.
