London Art Fair returns from 22-26 January 2025, highlighting a selection of the best galleries from the UK and beyond. The Fair will offer both seasoned and aspiring collectors a diverse presentation of modern and contemporary art, alongside curated displays, and an inspiring programme of talks, panel discussions and artist insights.
The Fair’s Prints & Editions section will return after its launch in 2024. The section, which features prints and multiples from both emerging artists and household names, provides an introduction to art collecting with a more accessible price point, encouraging art enthusiasts to start their collecting journey at the Fair.
In addition, London Art Fair continues to champion and support regional museums through its annual Museum Partnership, which this year invites the celebrated art museum, Sainsbury Centre, to showcase their world-class collection at the Fair.
London Art Fair is also pleased to announce that its official destination sponsor, Visit Tampa Bay, will be commissioning a site specific multi-sensory installation piece by artist Ya La’ford to be exhibited at the Fair. Santiago C. Corrada, president and CEO of Visit Tampa Bay says, “We are inspired to be part of this prestigious event and are very proud to be working with renowned Tampa-based artist, Ya La’ford, who will be exhibiting at the Fair and showcasing what art means to us across the destination.” The installation is an evocative exploration of Florida’s beauty and its intricate connections to London and the greater world. Entitled “Ebb and Flow: The Circle of Connection,” this immersive experience from renowned artist Ya La’ford invites viewers to reflect on the profound relationships between nature, travel, and the shared significance of humanity.
