£501.50 ? That will teach them to buy micallef!!!

I went last year. It was really good, I would definately go again although it really isn't that affordable at all, quite the opposite!

Lots of street art with Andipa having a large stall along with works by; warhol, hirst, julian opie, mel ramos etc etc.

Didn't see any £500 micallef's though

Think they bought it about 3 years ago

[They call me Stephen]

Yeah, think i remember the article...plus it was hard enough to get a giwtbb print for the £500 mark last year yet alone a canvas!

The fair was really good but its 'affordable' tag is pretty off the mark, everything had the price it would normally have had in a gallery (ie: high). I didn't expect otherwise but that daily mail article made it seem like an art cat boot sale!!

Still, great day out, really beautiful art, highly recommended

[daley]

Yes AAF is worth a visit and has a mix of styles. I believe i've seen Micallef and Denning there in the past. They get round showing some of the bigger names by having small works on sale - that way the price stays down.

[trasbash]

It is worth visiting although you have to be prepared to sift through the hundreds of pictures of flowers and David Beckham to find gems. Its like TKMaxx but for art. The max price went up from 2000 to 3000 a couple of years ago now making more like a cross between tkmaxx and house of fraser. Micallef used to exhibit at the fair with Woodbine Contemporary Art... as did I

[fatherxmas]

where is this?

[Billy Sport]

battersea park, on twice a year, alison at art file is there, we bought some dennings in march. looks like we're off there tonight..

[Signal Gallery]

We have a limited number of free tickets for the two preview events at the Affordable Art Fair London in March. The two evening events are the Charity Preview on the 11th March and the drinks reception on the 12th March. The tickets, which admit two, can also be used at any other time when the show is open.

We 're showing new works by Charming Baker, SPQR, Dale Grimshaw, Jonathan Darby and Zachary Walsh, amongst others.

Email me if you'd like a ticket. [e-mail]
I'll need an address to send it to or you could drop into the gallery an pick it up.
Cheers
Chris

[Signal Gallery]

Still a few left.

For those who requested them already, we'll be posting them out to you at the weekend.

[Billy Sport]

anyone going tomorrow or over the weekend? any particular artists/galleries that you're interested in? and does the title of the show still hold true?

[yapsey]

i'm going on friday - should be good

[Billy Sport]

thats what i mean bigman, thats a lot of money nowadays(anydays?), esp when things seem to be priced there at £2995.

[Billy Sport]

who's that plurker?

[Oliver Winconek]

I will have some work on the David lilford stand, prices from £95 up to £1500 for my work, I've tried to ensure there is a good range as I have noticed in the past that a lot of galleries seem to just bring work at £3000 and not a lot else! Cheeky devils

Oliver I have just worked out who you are, I was in there a while back and saw your pieces that I really liked but budget did not allow to buy, but I get David's invites. Are you going to Billy Childish preview, I cannot make it.

Hi Sam, thanks for that, really pleased you like my work. I am currently working out ways to keep my work reasonably priced without sacrificing on quality. I will be at the Billy Childish show, should be a good one. I've already decided on the pieces I want

[Happy Shopper]

Went to this last year and it felt like a waste of time. OK if you like paintings of cows, old cars or flowers!
Maybe some good stuff this year though.

[Billy Sport]

i got a couple of dennings last year but there is a lot that are not my cup of tea. and theres free drinks...

This was better than the last few AAFs tbh.

A few galleries representing the urban/street, some great stuff from Oliver, also SPQR, also Cept amogst others Some D*Face but nothing new, a lot of Blek prints.

The only piece I saw that I would've bought no question had gone by the time I saw it:

Who is this, its great.
