Afordable Art fair, by andrewd on Mar 16, 2007 21:00:59 GMT 1, I went down today, nothing really caught my eye, there are some Peter Blake prints, ( signed and less then a grand from the cig. packet run ) Billy Childish canvases ( for about a grand or so ) Joe Tilson prints and the occasional piece that has a bit of originality about it. There was also a piece with a red road stop sign called trouble ahead that seemed to pay homage to Banksy but had enough about it to stand out. There is alot of stuff that I can not imagine anyone on this forum would be interested in ( twee copyist stuff and the plain dreadful!)
Saying that it has been open for a few days and people are able to take home what they have bought with them so there may well have been some good stuff earlier on.
For some reason I have yet to fathom I've been getting free tickets for the last three years and I must say that it is getting better every time it is on, apart from the fact that there was no stuff by Peter Hayes who is hot in the world of ceramic sculpture and hails from Bath. Nothing like the stuff on this forum but outstanding.

I'd call affordable less than ยฃ100.

Afordable Art fair, by andrewd on Mar 17, 2007 23:27:27 GMT 1, I think they have a limit of 3K but most of it is original art rather than print editions. Plenty of tat for less than a grand but who wants tat!
Which reminds me last time I went past Tate Britan the sign at the front of the gallery, 'TATE' had broken, showing instead 'Tat'..... Banksy would have liked that when he painted his 'mind the Crap on the steps'
Wonder how they ( the Tate )will justify buffing his work in the future?
