The Art Car Boot Fair returns to The Workshop in Vauxhall on December 1st 2019 for a one-off festive flash sale. A line-up of celebrated artists will create unique artworks that they will sell in person on the day at bargain prices.
Prêt-à-Accrocher, the Art Car Boot Fair’s “Ready to Hang” Edition, promises to be an afternoon of feverish art buying, and the perfect opportunity to get special Christmas gift bargains. There will also be on-the-spot personalisations and hand finishing by the artists, plus a special wrapping and postage service, Christmas cards, gorgeous decorations and a Secret Santa Art Casino.

Highlights on the day:
Gavin Turk will be personalising a unique series of works just for the day at £100. Numbered tickets will be available from a ticket queue dispenser. They will be individually signed and have a Picasso Bull head drawn on each, a nod to Gavin’s work related to the minotaur, the golden thread and Greek mythology. Take a ticket from the dispenser when joining the queue, hold onto it until you get to the stall, then Gavin will draw on and sign the ticket. The ticket will then be mounted onto A3 paper and placed in an acetate sleeve and paper bag. The tickets will not be numbered as an edition, they are a unique series so he will make as many as there are a demand for on the day then end the series there.
The youngest artist at the Art Car Boot Fair is 11-year-old London schoolgirl Camille Phoenix. She has an established collector base, including chic boutique hotel group Artist Residence where her art is displayed in their new hotel in Bristol. During the ACBF Camille Phoenix has exchanged drawings with many artists including Tracey Emin and Sir Peter Blake. She loves cats, dancing and she of course drawing and painting. Her hero is Frida Kahlo. Camille will be doing live drawings on the day. Her prints start at £10 and original drawings are for sale up to £50.

Ben Eine returns to the fair with a new LONDON limited-edition print and will also be selling festive bunting created in his distinctive stencil lettering. Islington based Frame Factory will be offering ready-made frames with mount cutting on-site, framing consultancy and will be taking orders for pre-Christmas bespoke framing. They are also offering a free frame up to £300. Charming Baker and Jealous Gallery will be selling The Donkey Drawing, a new piece specially created for the Art Car Boot Fair that the artist will be hand finishing and signing on the day.
For this special festive event ACBF will have a glittering array of art from the line-up of artists in the special Secret Santa Casino, plus a few special surprises. They will be wrapping them or slipping them into one of our bespoke mailers and the price on each will be a real steal. The only catch is you won’t know what you’ve got till you open it…OR you could be really brave and gift it to someone without actually opening it.
