PLATFORM

Launched in 2019 as a new guest curated feature to the Fair Programme, Platform focuses on a single distinct theme every year, be it an artistic medium, movement or a geographical or cultural exploration. The section allows invited galleries to present a combination of well-known, overlooked and emerging artists that align to the theme.

Browse below the themes which have been explored, questioned and celebrated thus far by London Art Fair.
