The UK's longest established international art fair for contemporary and modern art begins on the 8th of October and runs until the 12th with a preview on the evening of the 7th.
Art London, sponsored by The Amber Foundation which helps homeless unemployed young people find jobs and employment, showcases some of the world's leading galleries.
The exhibition will encompass painting, photography, works on paper, ceramics and glass, with new exhibitors to the fair including the Connoisseur Art Gallery from Hong Kong and the Blue Leaf Gallery from Dublin.
As well as the indoor exhibitions the fair also has an outdoor Sculpture Garden with monumental works in the set against the Royal Hospital grounds, which will be exhibiting a small selection of sculptors represented by participating galleries.
An unusual interactive highlight will be the Thirteen Langton Street Gallery exhibiting the 'live' works of Raphael Thierry. Thierry creates sand performances in front of audiences who are then invited to destroy the works so that Thierry can start again. Thierry has also performed in front of live audiences in Paris, Rome and London.
Ticket Prices - £12 for one, £18 for two (includes an illustrated catalogue). Tickets may be purchased on the door.
Nearest station – Sloane Square
Entrance - London Gate, Royal Hospital Road
