From the 9th to 12th June 2010 the Park Lane Hotel, Piccadilly W1 will be hosting the Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair.
Now in its second year, the newly expanded Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair will feature more than 50 exhibitors, showcasing 1,000 years of fine art.
“With virtually every fine art fair in Europe focusing on Western art, The Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair is the only event of its kind to concentrate on fine art from the East.”
Peter London, Fair Director
Following the success of last year’s Russian Fine Art Fair the 2010 Fair has expanded to include Eastern and Oriental art. Reflecting the enthusiasm in London for art from Iran, India, China, Korea and Vietnam, specialist galleries will show a stunning mix of traditional and modern contemporary fine art from these regions.
Key works on display at the fair include an important painting, The Firebird, by Natalia Goncharova (1881-1962). In 2008 Goncharova’s, Les Fleurs, set the record for a female artist at auction when it sold for £5.5 million ($10.8 million) at Christie’s London.
Two living masters of Indian art, Maqbool Fida Husain and Syed Haider Raza, will also be represented at the Fair, as will Lee Sun-Don, the only artist from Taiwan to have shown at the Venice Biennale.
The Russian Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair will be opened by Andrew Graham Dixon and runs from 9th to 12th June 2010 in the Park Lane Hotel in the heart of Mayfair.
The timing will take advantage of the huge additional influx of art buyers into London for the major sales at Christie’s, Bonhams and MacDougall’s the same week.
