a few words from the fair founder, will ramsay Welcome to Battersea for this very special 15th anniversary edition of the Affordable Art Fair. When we launched the very first Affordable Art Fair, in Battersea Park in October 1999, I never dreamed that 15 years on we would have helped so many people fall in love with the idea that they could be art collectors. Looking back brings both a huge sense of pride, and of gratitude – to the galleries who have joined us, and all of you who visited our fairs with open minds and art-loving hearts. During the week of that very first fair, I lost half a stone in nervous energy and by running around like a mad-arsed fly, but I also recall the absolute relief that people actually turned up, and took art home with them, many of whom were buying art for the very first time! 10,000 visitors came to that first fair, and we have tried to stay true to our ideals with ease of buying, breadth of choice, affordable prices and a relaxed, inclusive atmosphere being at the heart of what we do. Now, in 2014, up to 22,000 people come to each of our London fairs to experience and engage with the art exhibited by 120 UK and international galleries. Amongst these exhibitors are a number of very special galleries who were brave enough to take a chance on us at the start, and whose support ever since has made the Affordable Art Fair what it is today. The success of the fair is, in no small way, down to the continued support of the many galleries who return year after year, bringing with them their passion for the artists they represent, and their enthusiasm for sharing their love of art with you. To our inspiring exhibitors and to you, our brilliant visitors, thank you, and here’s to another fifteen years of democratising the art world!

Affordable Art Fair
celebrating 15 years of affordable art We’re here to help people to enrich their homes and their daily lives, and, ultimately, to fall in love with art.
Since our very first fair right here in Battersea Park in 1999, the Affordable Art Fair has spread across four continents and we’ve helped over 1.6 million of you to engage with, and enjoy, art. We’ve matched over 200,000 artworks with their perfect owners, and in doing so helped many thousands of artists to support their ongoing practice. With your help we’ve raised over £650,000 for charity, and have been able to provide over £2 million of art education to ensure future generations continue to appreciate the importance of contemporary art. But it’s not just been a crazy fifteen years for the Affordable Art Fair, oh no. Over the
last decade-and-a-half the contemporary art world as a whole has seen a veritable explosion of generation-defining moments. From record-breaking sales at auction – Jeff Koons’s Balloon Dog became the most expensive work of art by a living artist, selling last year for a colossal $58.4 million – to the opening of landmark arts institutions, most notably Southbank’s Tate Modern in 2000, to the emergence of new, iconic artworks and artists. Tracey Emin’s infamous My Bed installation was first exhibited in 1999, and anonymous graffiti artist Banksy rose to controversial fame at the start of the new millennium.
Battersea Park, 23 – 26 October 2014
and galleries with a new set of pressures. However, now, as the economy continues to pick up, more than ever we’re seeing the innovative ways in which the art world has morphed to combat these financial difficulties. These events, along with the explosion of art fairs globally over the last fifteen years as the way of viewing and buying art, have shaped the contemporary art world as it is today. Amongst all this, the Affordable Art Fair is going strong and now, each year, 17 fairs take place internationally from Hong Kong to Hamburg, Mexico City to Milan, and we have more international exhibitors than ever before. This autumn we’re thrilled to be welcoming new galleries to Battersea from as far afield as Korea, Canada and Miami (for more information about these exhibitors see pages 14-15), allowing you to see fresh directions in contemporary art globally, and providing you with an even wider range of art to choose from.
Grayson Perry became the first ceramicist to win the coveted Turner Prize in 2003, defiantly attending the award ceremony dressed as his girlish alter-ego Claire, and Damien Hirst produced his divisive sculpture For the Love of God in 2007 – a platinum skull encrusted with 8,601 diamonds worth a mind-blowing £15 million in materials alone! Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei highlighted the political potential of contemporary art, reaching a climax with his controversial incarceration in 2011 and sparking a remarkable global reaction. Of course, 2008 saw the banking crash in the UK which, inevitably, hit both artists
Despite our expansion overseas, Battersea will always hold a special place in our hearts, as the place where it all began fifteen short years ago. And, returning here in this special anniversary year, we’re reminded that, importantly, despite all these changes, the motivation at the core of the Affordable Art Fair is stronger and clearer than ever – we’re here to help people to enrich their homes and their daily lives, and, ultimately, to fall in love with art.

Affordable Art Fair
To celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Art Fair, we’ve worked with art historian Estelle Lovatt, and the brilliant Reduced Shakespeare Company, to produce a ten minute comedy. The result is a hilarious romp through art from the ancient times of the caveman to contemporary artists such as Banksy and Damien Hirst, via Cubism, Impressionism and many other ‘isms’ – poking fun along the way. If you’re not able to see it at the fair, it will be available to view at affordableartfair.co.uk. Here Estelle talks about why a little art history goes a long way.
THE COMPLETE HISTORY OF ART
To know the past is to understand the present. This is especially true of contemporary art as art history helps you understand it better. To know where art, figurative or abstract, is now, and where it’s going, is like reading a map; to plot a course is simply a continuation from where the line has previously been. Trust me, I’m an art critic, I know. Having Constable look over my shoulder, the Mona Lisa on my mind, Picasso tugging at my sleeve and Van Gogh ringing in my ears helps me explain that shark, those bricks and a certain unmade bed. As Damien Hirst is encouraged by Turner and Tracey Emin inspired by Rembrandt, a toilet can be art up against melting clocks or a can of soup, drip paintings, elephant poo, sunflower seeds, party balloons, matchstick men and graffiti. I have the best job in the world, where I don’t get my hands dirty in paint anymore and instead review other artist’s work, saying
(ABRIDGED)
if it’s good or bad, explaining why, and justifying criticism. History of art gives me the platform to do this, which is why I wanted to be involved with the Reduced Shakespeare Company’s ‘Reduced History of Art’ project. Having trained as a fine artist and read history of art I truly appreciate its power. And know that today, art history is more important than ever, as society has shifted from verbal to visual reasoning, from text to image; All day long we process pictures from our computer screen to iPad, tablet to television, cinema, videogames, internet and mobile phone. And then we go to sleep to dream in pictures! Think of art history as offering you all the essential tools necessary to respond to these images. It was after Whistler painted his mother’s realistic portrait, and then abstractly threw paint at his canvas, that he advocated ‘art for art’s sake’, saying, “Art should be independent of all claptrap; should stand
Battersea Park, 23 – 26 October 2014
alone and appeal to the artistic sense of eye, or ear, without confounding this with emotions entirely foreign to it, as devotion, pity, love, patriotism and the like.” Art is simply valuable as art. It does not need validation or definition, but might need explanation – so I welcome the Reduced Shakespeare Company, whose performance of ‘The Complete History of Art (Abridged)’ proves art is fun! When I think of how Munch’s ‘The Scream’ influenced the face Macauley Culkin pulled in the ‘Home Alone’ movie poster (and was parodied by The Simpsons) I realise that art is all around us, and needn’t be highbrow or snobby, just there to enjoy. As Affordable Art Fair founder, Will Ramsay,

says, “The aim is that this performance will make everyone smile and celebrate all that art has given us. But if people also pick up a bit of knowledge, feel more informed and become more confident about art, that will be a bonus. We want everyone to be able to access art and feel inspired by it. This is about showing how art is relevant to all of us and is great fun.” More than this, know that art history can turn your head, shock and disturb you, make you laugh or smile, challenge you, strengthen your mind, develop your communication skills and your own self - worth. Wow! History of art is as powerful as medicine like that!
Estelle Lovatt, FRSA, is an art critic and art history lecturer seen and heard on BBC Radio and TV, Sky News, Al Jazeera and CNN International. She is also an art history lecturer at Hampstead School of Art, London.

ones to watch recent graduates’ exhibition
Each October, one of the highlights of the Affordable Art Fair’s Autumn Collection in Battersea is the annual Recent Graduates’ Exhibition, which greets you as you step into the fair. Curated by Jessica Hall and Emma Mansell, it offers a snapshot of the best new work being produced in UK art schools this year, and provides an unrivalled opportunity to experience exciting new directions in contemporary art whilst potentially showcasing some of the big names of the future.
This year’s hand-picked selection is particularly strong in innovative sculptural installation pieces, ranging from the beautiful to the bizarre. In particular, look out for the deceptively chic chandelier by Kyla Harris crafted entirely from catheters; Rosa Nussbaum’s bold and brash ‘Living the Dream’ light box; and the poised precision of Charlotte Roberts’ vintage book installations. If 2D art is more your thing, never fear! Check out the immaculately detailed charcoal tree drawings by Blaze Cyan, and the ethereal, melancholic light paintings of Norwegian artist Eigil Nordstrøm. Supporting emerging artists has always been at the heart of the Affordable Art Fair’s mission, and the Recent Graduates’ Exhibition is a crucial way of helping artists find their feet during the transitional phase between art school and professional practice. As former Recent Graduate artist, and now highly successful painter Andrew Salgado remembers, “My experiences showing with Recent Graduates at AAF in 2009 was a pivotal and beneficial move for my career, as a young artist with big dreams immediately out of grad school. I sold to collectors who, to this day, continue to support me, and it gave me the means and confidence to pursue my artistic career without reservation. In retrospect, it was one of those formative and fundamental moments that defined my young career.” Remember, you saw them here first! our 2014 recent graduates are: Si-Hyun An Chelsea College of Art, BA Fine Art Hayun Choi Chelsea College of Art, MA Fine Art Blaze Cyan City and Guilds, MA Fine Art Adrian Hardy The Cass, MA Photography Kyla Harris (Image 5) Chelsea College of Art, BA Fine Art Oliver Hickmet City and Guilds, BA Fine Art Painting Matthew Higgins Chelsea College of Art, MA Fine Art Yunsun Jung Goldsmiths, MFA Fine Art Ann Kelson (Image 6) University of the West of England, BA Drawing and Applied Arts

What’s special about Drawing? Why would anyone in their right mind encourage strangers to draw? Why is there a “Campaign for Drawing”? We don’t need campaigns to persuade others to write, take photographs, or play music. What’s special about drawing? I think the answer is that it is an important part of being fully human, which has fallen out of practice and habit. Most educated people understand that to survive in the modern world they need to be able to write to explain themselves, and to read. Generations have grown up sending photographic images to others, first by snail mail and now Instagram. With everyone now clasping mobile phones, this is the most image-conscious society in our history. Drawing, the primal way of making images, has been important since homo sapiens left Africa and began colonising the planet – and arguably before that too. We don’t know any cultures where drawing didn’t happen and wasn’t valued. From the ancient Chinese to the Aztecs, the Inuit and all modern cultures, drawing has been an important part of how human beings express culture. Here, as in many Western countries, there was a golden age of drawing around a century ago. Mass media were well advanced, but photographic imagery was still of poor quality and expensive. So drawings filled newspapers, magazines, posters and cheap books. This golden age took a long time to die. In the 1960s, when I was growing up, cartoons were everywhere. Books had
by Andrew Marr Patron of The Campaign for Drawing
beautiful illustrations; all boys and girls were brought up on the drawings in “Eagle”, ‘’The Beano”, “Jackie” etc. But as photographic reproduction got better and faster, the drawing culture withered. We are now in the ridiculous position of having a couple of generations who have almost been taught not to draw – that they can’t draw – that drawing is only for some bizarre elite of “artists”. At art school, they are taught that drawing has almost nothing to do with art. This is an outrageous waste of human talent and expressiveness. Most of us can draw. All of us learn to look, to see the world more sharply, and to enjoy the simple pleasure of making something, when we learn to draw. Talk to any engineer, inventor or designer, and you discover how fundamental drawing is to the economy. And as I have learned after my stroke, drawing is a wonderful therapy and a way to connect with the beauty of the world around us, for the princely cost of a 3B pencil and cheap notebook. To undertake a campaign on behalf of drawing, is therefore to try to wrench back part of the culture that has fallen away, and to give ourselves a tool and practice that should have been ours all along. It’s not a campaign for “art”, still less for the art market. It’s a lot more important than that. Please visit www.thebigdraw.org/donate for ways to support The Campaign for Drawing.

Dan Rawlings
‘Silo’ by Dan Rawlings is sure to have caught your eye as you made your way into the fair today. Constructed from upcycled materials and discarded metal objects, Dan’s installation deals with ideas of childhood, light and nature. Dan is interested in how metals can seem indestructible, when they are often actually impermanent and prone to decay. “Rust serves to remind us how temporary it all is”, he says, “like the weeds growing up through the cracks in an unused car park, rust is working away reclaiming the land for nature”. It is these ideas of nature and the way objects and humans react to it that Dan plays upon in his installation, which has been specially made for display outside the entrance of the Affordable Art Fair.
“like the weeds growing up through the cracks in an unused car park, rust is working away reclaiming the land for nature” Dan uses the grain silo as a metaphor for the way people behave at work – often withdrawing once their job is done. In a similar sense, once the silo fulfils its purpose, it sits dormant, with no interaction with its surroundings. By using cut-outs in the work and lighting it from below, we can now observe how the silo is affected by the space and people around it, whilst reminding us of the peaceful countryside. In a city as hectic as London, observing the quiet simplicity of the cut -outs, which contrast beautifully with the starkness of the upcycled materials, gives us a moment’s pause within a busy working metropolis. See more of Dan’s work at Art«, Stand J8.
