Building on the success of its previous two years, Patrick Perrin and Stéphane Custot have expanded DesignArt London to create a new concept, the Pavilion of Art & Design London. The Pavilion of Art & Design London will mirror its elegant Parisian counterpart, the Pavillon des Arts et du Design Paris, now on its 13th year and held in the prestigious Jardin des Tuileries, by encompassing fine art in its repertoire. The London fair, held in Berkeley Square in Mayfair, will run simultaneously with Frieze week, from the 14th to 18th October. During this time, the Pavilion will house an impressive stable of 45 established international exhibitors who represent the leaders in their respective fields of Modern Art and 20th Century Decorative Arts.
Visitors and collectors alike can take in the wide breadth of works of unparalleled quality and innovation, which rival a museum’s collection. Several new exhibitors will join the design panorama this year including Yves Macaux and Anne Autegarden, both from Brussels. Modern art exhibitors will include Hopkins?Custot (Paris), Ben Brown (London), Jacques de la Béraudière (Geneva), Lefèvre Gallery (London) and Richard Nagy (London). Returning galleries to the fair include Cristina Grajales (New York), R 20th Century (New York), Louisa Guinness, Rove Gallery, Adrian Sassoon, Carpenters Workshop and David Gill, all from London, and the Parisian galleries of Yves Gastou, Galerie Italienne, Chahan Gallery, HP Le Studio, Alain Marcelpoil, Pierre Passebon, Clara Scremini, and Rossella Colombari.
One of the highlights of the fair is the Moët Hennessy Prize, which sponsors the donation of the winning
decorative art piece to the prestigious collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. In addition, a judging panel of established figures from the world of art and design will honour two galleries with the title of ‘Best Exhibit’ and ‘Best Stand.’ This year’s fair will also enable an extraordinary collaboration between its charity sponsor, the NSPCC and David Gill Ltd. Designers are producing a range of designed children’s chairs to be sold at the fair with the proceeds donated to the NSPCC.
The originality and importance of the pieces, the carefully curated booths, and the meticulous selection of the galleries and dealers themselves is what generates the high calibre of this fair and verifies the Pavilion of Art & Design London’s reputation as a significant player in the international art and design scene.
