The NEW Fair for ART in the North West!
Penman Fairs are delighted to announce the first Chester Art Fair to be held in the brand new Conference Centre currently under construction in the centre of Chester Racecourse! Following a very small attempt at an Art Fair attached to our established Antiques & Fine Art Show in February & October, we are able to enlarge into a fresh, light, white new building which will certainly be able to accommodate 40+ stands. However, this has not yet been built, and plans are somewhat vague as yet! We are assured that this will be ready for the major race meeting in May, so teething problems will have been sorted by the time we are there at midsummer! |
| Master Drawings in London | ||
|
July 4 - 11, 2008
London |
Collecting drawings is a passion, maybe a disease, that unites us whether we are museum curators, private collectors, dealers or just what in the 18th century were called ‘amateurs.’ Let us track back to that great Georgian era of connoisseurship, Britain was then veritably, as Mariette said, the ‘Print Room of Europe’. Great cabinets of drawings were being assembled by King George III, milordi inglesi on the Grand Tour and by a host of artists - stretching back to Lely and through the Richardsons to Reynolds, West, Cosway, Thane and Lawrence. Where have all those artist virtuosi gone? Can one imagine Tracey Emin or Rachel Whiteread putting together a small, carefully selected, collection of drawings? Indeed to an almost frightening extent the British passion for collecting OMDs has shifted across the pond to New York, Chicago, and California.

Promoting greater interaction between independent artists, buyers and gallery owners, Inspired Art Fair challenges the very model of the traditional art fair, without skimping on quality, talent, or diversity.
Inspired Art Fair invests in the creative talent of artists by providing them with the commercial skills necessary for them to succeed in the arts. It provides an access point, business support, mentoring, formal and informal learning routes with industry experts and other professional artists. |
