Enjoy a day out at the sixteenth
"20/21 British Art Fair", before it closes tomorrow (at the earlier time of
5pm!). It is an opportunity for you to discover over 60 exhibitors, most of which are
commercial art galleries, displaying and selling art from England, Scotland and Wales
(from the years 1900-2003). On show will be a wide selection of drawings, paintings,
sculptures, etc. Included in this year's list of exhibiting galleries are: Advanced
Graphics; Agnew's; Alan Cristea, Marlborough and Rebecca Hossack. Whatever time you decide
to come along at, make sure you leave some time to attend one, or both, of the free
lectures that take place in the afternoon.
They are: Philip Vann's lecture, "Portrait
of an Era: The Ruth Borchard Collection of 100 Self-Portraits" at 12pm (midday) and
William Feaver's "Figures: Paintings by Auerbach, Freud and Uglow" at 3pm. So,
if you fancy a look around or if you want to buy something do drop in and see what is on
offer from these and over 60 other galleries. Admission: £8 (concessions: £4). The fair
