British Art Fair

British Art Fair BRITISH ART FAIR 2026 | 35th Edition | 24 - 27 September | Saatchi Gallery London.

Founded in 1988, British Art Fair is the only fair dedicated to Modern and contemporary British art. Each year, fifty leading dealers exhibit paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures covering all the important artistic movements of the past 100 years: from the early modernists to the YBAs to contemporary street art. Most of the great names of 20th century British art are represented: Bomberg, Freud, Frink, Frost, Hepworth, Hockney, Lowry, Moore, Nash, Piper, Riley, Spencer and Sutherland alongside contemporary names such as Grayson Perry, Banksy and many others of the 21st century.
Much of the work is privately sourced and fresh to the market and dealers keep work back for the fair. NEXT EDITION: 24-27 September, Saatchi Gallery, Chelsea, London

Can you collect digital art? The answer is yes, and collectors already are.

The more interesting question is: which artists and which works are worth collecting? While the technology is different, the principles of collecting are surprisingly familiar to more traditional art forms: look closely, do your research, understand the artist’s practice, and collect what genuinely resonates with you.

In our latest guide, , Producer and Curator of Spotlight: Digitalism at British Art Fair, explores how to collect digital art, and what you need to know about this evolving field. Read more via the link in bio 🔗

Gavin Turk: Art History & Rubbish at Chelsea Arts Festival

There’s a special connection between Gavin Turk, Saatchi Gallery and British Art Fair. In 2019, Turk curated MYBA at Saatchi Gallery in association with British Art Fair, bringing together a group of leading Young British Artists.

This September, Turk returns to Saatchi Gallery as part of Chelsea Arts Festival with Art History & Rubbish, exploring the fascinating role of waste in art.

From Duchamp’s ready-mades and Schwitters’ Merz collages to Arman, Manzoni and artworks famously mistaken for rubbish and swept away, Turk traces how artists have transformed the discarded into something to be questioned, valued and collected.

The talk brings the story into the present, where waste has become both artistic medium and global emergency, asking what we choose to keep - and what that reveals about value itself.

Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Founder and CEO of and has chosen Iowa Farm II by Keith Vaughan, shown by Osborne Samuel Gallery on Stand 12. ⁠

In 1959 Vaughan was appointed Painter in Residence at Iowa State University, where he worked for six months. During this period, he produced a series of landscapes in both oils and gouaches, each marked by a heightened sense of formal structure and design. The optimism he encountered in American painting fostered a new expressive eloquence in his handling of pigment, encouraging him to move beyond the restraint that had characterised much of his earlier work.⁠
