Successfully returning to Mayfair for the 4th year the Pavilion of Art & Design London will feature forty-seven distinguished international dealers bringing together exceptional works of Modern Art, Design, Decorative Arts, Photography, Jewellery and Tribal Art. The temporary pavilion in Berkeley Square will be open to the public the 13-17th October during the London Frieze week.
Galleries from Paris, London, Brussels, New York, Barcelona, K枚ln, Zurich, Geneva and Anvers offer an eclectic display of paintings, sculpture and furniture highlighting the harmony of art and design. A notable edition to the fair includes works of Tribal Art of museum quality.
Once again Mo褢t Hennessey is sponsoring the Mo褢t Hennessey-PAD London Prize donating a major piece of Design or Decorative Art to the Victoria and Albert Museum. Chaired by architect and designer Nigel Coates, and compromised of prominent figures in the field of art, fashion, culture, communication and business, the juried panel will also present awards for Best Stand and Best Object prior to the opening of the fair.
Contemporary design galleries will feature dramatic woodwork furniture by Michael Coffey, and the lastest works by designers Studio Job, Vincent Dubourg and Sebastian Brajkovic, the 2008 winner of the Mo褢t Hennessey-PAD London Prize. The 2009 prize winner Yoichi Ohira鈥檚 glass sculptures will also return to the fair with contemporary decorative art works showcasing naturalistic pottery by Kate Malone, glass by Francis Vizner and a selection of rare design and decorative Art Deco pieces.
