Affordable Art Fair Battersea 25-28 October 2012

The Affordable Art Fair  is returning to London this Autumn next  Thursday.

The concept is simple and unique: an inspiring and friendly atmosphere in which you can find thousands of original paintings, prints, sculpture and photography all under one roof. The work of young, emerging artists hangs alongside some of the biggest household names, provides a chance to snap up a future masterpiece.

Let Boutique London Apartments guide you through this unique event.

History:

In 1996, Will Ramsay opened Will’s Art Warehouse in southwest London to bridge the increasing interest in contemporary art and the London gallery scene.

This was only the beginning.

The first fair was launched in Battersea Park in October 1999 and over 10,000 visitors took advantage of the ease of buying affordable prices and user-friendly approach.

Nowadays the Affordable Art Fair has become something of a global phenomenon. It takes place in Amsterdam, Bristol, Brussels, New York, Milan, Singapore, Hamburg, Mexico City, Rome, Seattle, Stockholm and Hong Kong. Globally, over 1 million people have visited an Affordable Art Fair, buying over £155 million of art.
