India Art Fair 2012

 

Announcement of India Art Fair, 4TH Edition
25-29 January 2012 in New Delhi

New Delhi, 29 September 2011: Now in its 4th edition, India Art Fair (formerly India Art Summit) is set to take place in New Delhi from 25-29 January 2012. Established in 2008 as the country’s first international art fair, India Art Fair has received 178,000 visitors over itsfirst 3 editions.

The highly successful 3rd edition in 2011 included 84 exhibiting galleries from 20 countries, displaying a diverse range of renowned and emerging artists. With over 100,000 visitors over 4 days and a record number of new collectors (30-40%), the 3rd edition firmly established India Art Fair as the region’s leading platform for modern and contemporary art, and demonstrated the vast potential of the Indian art market.

With one of the world’s fastest growing economies and HNWI (high net-worth individual) populations, and an expanding collector base, India is increasingly becoming an important centre for the global art market.  With an annual growth rate of almost 300% and an expanding global participation in its initial years, India Art Fair has been successful in repeatedly bringing art into the focus of mainstream society in India, and contributing to the long term development of the Indian art scene.

This year, the rising interest from foreign galleries in India Art Fair has also been fuelled by the Government of India’s new exemption of import duties on art for exhibition purposes. It is expected that approximately 100 galleries from 30 countries will participate in the 4th edition of the art fair, which will be presented in a dynamic new space in the capital city of New Delhi.

Alongside the art fair, next year’s programme will include the flagship Speakers’ Forum, Video Lounge, Art Projects, the Merchandise and Book Store, and a series of Collateral Events around the city of New Delhi. The Collectors’ Circle is a new initiative launched this year aimed at increasing awareness and access to art amongst young collectors. This will be a year-round membership based initiative that will provide information about art events including  talks, conferences, workshops and networking events with top individual and institutional collectors spread across the  country, and global art centres including London, New York, Hong Kong, Dubai and Colombo.  

The 4th edition of India Art Fair will continue under the same management as its previous 3 years, led by Founder and Fair Director Ms. Neha Kirpal, who has steered the growth and development of the art fair since its inception. This year, Ms. Kirpal brings on two new strategic partners as co-owners, Mr. Will Ramsay and Mr. Sandy Angus, who will bring in their global expertise in exhibitions and events.  Mr. Ramsay is Founder of Ramsay Fairs, PULSE Art Fairs, and Affordable Art Fairs; he runs art fairs in 8 countries on 4 continents.  Mr. Angus is Chairman of Montgomery Worldwide.  Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Angus are also co-founders of Art HK, the Hong Kong International Art Fair.

Ms. Kirpal describes the upcoming edition of India Art Fair as “an important milestone for the art fair; which has witnessed exceptional growth and development in a short period of time. The 4th edition brings us closer to our goal of developing a truly world class fair, facilitating international exchange and trade, and contributing to the growth of a vibrant art scene in the Indian sub-continent”.

Art in Support of Busted - Online Charity Art Auction

Art in Support of Busted Returns for Year Two

  

Gallery preview

October 1, 7 - 11 pm

Mirror Gallery,  

963 Chung King Road  

Los Angeles, CA 90012  

Online eBay auction: October 1 - 10     

Auction link: artinsupportofbusted.com

Busted Foundation link:  bustedfoundation.org  

Celebrated lowbrow artists give it up for "Boobies." Art in Support of Busted, an online art auction to benefit women battling breast cancer, returns for its second year starting on October 1. The auction launches on eBay and will be accompanied by a gallery preview reception in Los Angeles' Chinatown for artists and prospective bidders.  

Funds raised from Art in Support of Busted go directly to the Busted Foundation, a

SoCal-based charity organization that offers assistance to women fighting breast cancer.

The foundation was launched in 2007 by Stefanie LaHart and Gabriel Rountree to

provide both financial and educational support for breast cancer patients as they go

through medical treatment. Busted's signature annual fundraiser Bowling for Boobies

has raised over $400,000 in total.

Following the success of last year's inaugural auction, which raised $5,100, curator

Diana Gomez aimed to expand this year's event with a gallery preview reception. "The

gallery preview is a great way to say thank you to the amazing artists who are so

generously donating their pieces," said Gomez. "And although all the pieces are available to bidders worldwide through eBay, it's a nice perk for locals to be able to see the work firsthand prior to bidding."

This year's auction will take place from October 1-10 on eBay and features original work from artists including Ana Bagayan, Apricot Mantle, Aunia Kahn, Bad Otis Link, Bob Dob, Brandi Milne, Cate Rangel, Cathie Bleck, Chet Zar, Christopher Umana, Craig "Skibs" Barker, Dan Quintana, Edward Walton Wilcox, Greg "Craola" Simkins, Jana Brike, Jennybird Alcantara, Jessica Dalva, Jessica Ward, Liz McGrath, Mall, Martin Wittfooth, Nicole Bruckman, Shepard Fairey, Steven Daily, Tara McPherson, and Tomi Monstre.    

The gallery preview will open with a reception on October 1 from 7-11 PM at Mirror Gallery, 963 Chung King Road, Los Angeles. Please visit www.artinsupportofbusted.com and www.bustedfoundation.org for more information

Art of the Real: David Poxon RI

ART OF THE REAL: DAVID POXON RI

On Display from April 6, 2012 – April 30, 2012

CHARLESTON, SC (September 2011)- M Gallery of Fine Art SE is pleased to present “Art of the Real,” an exhibition featuring watercolorists Angus McEwan RWS ARWS, David Poxon RI, Denis Ryan RWS and Sandra Walker RI. As with many movements in the history of art, these artists have come together in celebration of common ideals. The show will be composed of approximately 40 watercolors, with 10 pieces from each artist. The show will hang from April 6^th – April 30^th, after which time it will travel to other cities in the U.S. The opening reception will be held on Friday, April 6th, in tandem with the First Friday Art Walk.

David Poxon RI

The need to feel a strong personal connection to their subjects is evident throughout the groups’ work. David Poxon’s paintings of abandoned objects are visually stunning and denote a past – a hidden story of work and toil.  This is a recurring theme in his work, whether it’s a piece of machinery, a lock, a door, sometimes a mountain of old metal and broken tools, that are all in a state of reclamation by nature. What once were things created and used by man, then discarded, become objects of adornment.

When a painting works there is a resonance, which stretches beyond both subject and picture plane, reaching out to the viewer and transcending a mere visual experience. To be able to convey something of the 'real' of my subjects, which are the commonplace, the overlooked, the places and work things of mankind, is a powerful and stimulating experience, a joyful and respectful thing.
