PRESS RELEASE
Some 70 art galleries from the UK and around the world are exhibiting at the 12th annual Art London, which opens in the special聽marquee at the Royal Hospital in London鈥檚 fashionable Chelsea from Thursday 7 until Monday 11 October 2010. The eclectic聽mix of art on sale offers visitors works by internationally renowned names, as well as accomplished emerging artists. The art聽comes in many forms and media, including: paintings, drawings, glass works, sculpture and photography. These all sell from a few聽hundred pounds to six figures sums.
Art London 2010 sees a number of new international contemporary galleries exhibiting including Comodaa (Australia) and Villa聽Del Arte (Spain) as well as other galleries from France, Argentina and the Czech Republic. Returning exhibitors include Whitford聽Fine Art, John Martin Gallery and The Albemarle Gallery.
Confirmed so far:
This year the fair sees an increased number of exhibitors showing and selling historical works, including Derby based Neptune聽Fine Art, a newcomer to the fair, which is bringing a 鈥楽treet Scene鈥�, 1953, and a 鈥楻iver Scene鈥�, 1944, by L. S. Lowry and 鈥楽till Life聽with Lemon鈥�, 1977, by Mary Fedden.
Whitfield Fine Art returns to Art London for the third time and is bringing a number of historical works including 鈥楬ead of Christ鈥�,聽a gouache signed and dated 鈥�51 by Dame Elisabeth Frink. Themes of Christ鈥檚 Passion were an enduring inspiration to Frink: her聽last work, unveiled at Liverpool鈥檚 Anglican Cathedral just a week before she died, was the bronze of `Risen Christ鈥�.
A highlight piece from Rountree Fine Art, newcomer to Art London, is a sporting scene by Alfred Munnings. They are also聽bringing works by Cecil Aldin and Graham Sutherland as well as an interesting watercolour 鈥楾he Downed German Zeppelin L19聽adrift and sinking in the North Sea鈥� (English School, Early 20th Century, artist not yet identified). L19 was on route to bomb the聽port of Liverpool but drifted off course to Wednesbury, an industrial town in the West Midlands. It suffered engine trouble,聽landing in the North Sea, where it was spotted by a British trawler.
Daniele Pescali established Imago Art Gallery with his wife Elisabetta Tremolada in London in 2007, continuing his grandfather鈥檚聽tradition of supporting up and coming Italian artists and collecting the finest modern Italian art. Daniele鈥檚 grandfather was one聽of Lucio Fontana鈥檚 first patrons and also knew Giorgio Morandi. Works by both these artists are for sale on Imago Art Gallery鈥檚聽stand, together with emerging sculptor Matteo Pugliese, who had a successful exhibition at Imago earlier this year.
The Court Gallery in Somerset is bringing two extremely rare items: an early Picasso drawing, 鈥楶ersonnages et Deux Chiens鈥� from聽1901, and a bronze by the celebrated English sculptor Frank Dobson 鈥榃ading Female Figure鈥�, a study for Cornucopia, possibly a聽one-off cast relating to his most important carving, c 1925.
Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones鈥� 鈥楬ead Study of Margaret Drummond鈥� is an initialled pencil drawing, dated聽Oct 2 1879, selling for 拢9,500 with Campbell Wilson, which is also exhibiting for the first time.
Whitford Fine Art has works by Pop artist Clive Barker, and painters William Gear and Kudditji Kngwarreye. 鈥楲andscape, Blue聽Element鈥� by William Gear, 1959, was painted at the time when this Scottish artist was curator of the Towner Art Gallery in聽Eastbourne. Aboriginal artist Kudditji Knwarreye鈥檚 landscapes include 鈥楳y Country 06鈥�. In September 2009, Prue Gibson wrote in聽Australian Art Review, 鈥淎lthough Kngwarreye鈥檚 paintings are personal, they are also collective. They document the stories of an聽entire people. They are closer to narrative than traditional landscape scenes.鈥�
