With thousands of artworks, thousands of visitors (25,000 last year), commissioned works, green rooms, showcases and such it is easy to get distracted and miss the extraordinary. The three-day event is to some extent needed if you are going to look at everything.
And then, some galleries do a different hang each day, so just when you think you have a handle on what speaks to you, there is something new to tempt. To make life easier, these are ten (impossible, so it’s 13) of the best, it is not definitive, nor is it prescriptive and there is a democratic cross-section of art types and price points, but it is a starting point!
Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert
Always interesting and often challenging perceptions around the art and design intersection Gallery Sally Dan-Cuthbert will this year offer a group show of exciting new works by Fernando do Campo, Jordan Gogos and the extraordinary Marion Borgelt. The gallery will also present a small salon hang of work by female artists including Ivana Taylor, Tammy Kanat and Sarah Rayner.
