London Art Fair, by robgee on Jan 14, 2008 16:54:03 GMT 1, Yep, hoping to go tomorrow night. Had a look at the gallery list and I'm thinking we could have quite a bit of street/urban artwork there. Forster Gallery, Ocontemporary and maybe a bit of Banksy about.

London Art Fair, by Winter on Jan 14, 2008 20:08:54 GMT 1, I'll be there, if prices are the same as last year I won't be buying. A P*sstake in most cases. Don't remember a Rob Ryan print. I quite like his technique - a bit too twee for me though. www.misterrob.co.uk/

Should be okay.... I'm likely to be visiting regularly this week as I've got a few complimentary entries...if you fancy being a +1 let me know.

London Art Fair, by Poppy Sunshine on Jan 14, 2008 22:49:14 GMT 1, Me and the other half are coming down to the art fair on Friday. Last year we stayed in Bloomsbury. Can anyone suggest anywhere either near the fair at the Islington end of things or perhaps we might stay at Camden? Any suggestions gratefuly accepted as it may save a bit of searching round. Thanks

London Art Fair, by uksnowman on Jan 14, 2008 23:39:08 GMT 1, I have 2 tickets (valid from Wednesday to Sunday), was planning to go but can't make it now due to work.
If someone would like these please let me know, will save you £14 each on the door. Would be a shame not to make use of them.
If you're in Bristol you can pick them up from me, otherwise I'll post them but means you won't have them until Weds/Thurs.

London Art Fair, by slowmo on Jan 15, 2008 9:40:31 GMT 1, Robert Ryan Print was given away free to the first 1000 people through the door. Its quite nice too, although not eacxtly urban. Check his stuff out on www.misterrob.co.uk. The cut outs he does look really good, very sentimental stuff.

London Art Fair, by Poppy Sunshine on Jan 15, 2008 10:05:45 GMT 1, Frankie, thanks for the advice. I got it about 5 minutes after I'd booked into the Holiday Inn at Camden so will pack some weapons and a biological warfare suit. Thanks for the Hilton suggestion Kiki. I tried online but they said it was full. Not surprising I suppose being next door and all that. However, after I'd booked the Camden hotel it appeared that there was space at the Hilton after all. Computers give me a headache at times! Anyway, would be very grateful of tickets if anyone has a pair which they won't be using. I'll pay special delivery postage or whatever's needed. Thanks. S

There's either a Holiday Inn or a Quality Inn off Camden High street near the Interchange. When I used to work up there that's where most visiting colleagues bunked up.

London Art Fair, by slowmo on Jan 16, 2008 19:54:36 GMT 1, Having gone last night I found the following.
There is a slow infiltration going on from the street art scene, both direct and indirect. For example a photo in a light box of a station with an obey poster in it, another painting with a Dface queen painted onto it. There were little bits on surprising stands, Beejoir take on Damien Hirst was on show, people had some bits and bobs by eine, Faile etc.
Realised you can get away with going every other year to this place, but there certainly seemed more prints than last year. My favourite once again was a new Dan Baldwin original, lovely yellow. He also had unique test prints of Flirting with death that were absolutely stunning!!! If you like Baldwin and you are going, forster Gallery for a look, they weren't cheap though so I couldn't afford one.
Otherwise lots of nice stuff by people I have never heard of!! On the main mezzanine there is an awesome triptych print of a Francis Bacon that is huge, I would kill for it!!!
Smartest sale pitch of the evening was supplied by Ocontemporary for the Gerald Laing prints. The Kiss (Amy winehouse and Civil) has been steadily going up in price, you can buy it for £2500, next to it was the show exclusive Mate Moss by Laing, at the price of £1000, people looked at £2500 and £1000 and thought money to be made, they were selling at a rate of knots. That said the Kate Moss was a nice print, but not as nice as Paul Insect's bunny girl, which it reminded me of a little.
Well worth a visit.

Yeah I noticed this too. As you say there were the painters and photographers of urban landscapes who directly incorporated street art in to their pieces. But I also counted at least 4 completely non-street art galleries who were selling street art pieces by banksy, faile, eine etc...

London Art Fair, by nickc on Jan 17, 2008 12:11:58 GMT 1, I'm going on Saturday & Sunday. On both days I'm going with people who have never been before and have no idea what their tastes in art are but they've just got on to the property ladder and want to have a look around and see what might be suitable. I'm looking forward to it in a slightly sadistic way!
