Art14 London, sponsored by Citi Private Bank, returns to Olympia’s Grand Hall in London. The Fair will welcome over 170 galleries from 38 countries. Contemporary and modern art from regions such as Asia, the Middle East and Africa will be on display by established and emerging artists from cities including Lagos, Berlin, Beijing, Dubai, Buenos Aires, Osaka, Mumbai and São Paulo.
Stephanie Dieckvoss, Fair Director said, “We are delighted to increase the geographical spread of countries represented. The Fair is growing organically so visitors and collectors will have a more comprehensive experience in discovering works of art from around the globe. We continue to have a strong presence from Asia with leading galleries such as Pearl Lam Galleries and Hakgojae Gallery returning. Other newcomers hail from the four corners of the world, including Triumph Gallery from Moscow, Galería Habana from Havana and Omenka Gallery from Lagos.”
The presence of leading Asian galleries marks the Fair as a significant focal point for contemporary Asian art outside of the region, which is a key component of the Fair. In addition, Art14 London features other key art scenes from around the world, such as modern and contemporary Middle Eastern art, which will have a strong presence at the Fair.
Dieckvoss states, “Many collectors and curators in London are interested in the Middle Eastern art scene. I’m delighted that Athr, based in Jeddah, who were one of the stand-out discoveries of the first edition, will return with a major presentation.” They will be joined by galleries such as The Empty Quarter from Dubai, one of the only spaces in the region dedicated to photography. Galerie Janine Rubeiz, based in Beirut, is an exciting addition to the Fair and will exhibit emerging and established Lebanese artists, while Taymour Grahne, newcomer to the New York art scene, will showcase works by Mohammed Kazem, who represented UAE at the Venice Biennial this year.
