Here we are back in the Royal Hospital in Chelsea and Art London, which is pretty much
the start of the autumn art fair season and the freeze is on coming up. All the satellites
and associated with freeze as well, it's going to be very busy in London. Photo month
is on in the east end. I think Paris Photo in November, if you're really into photography,
get yourself over there, that's a huge bear and a great show. Affordable Art Fair Hampstead,
which is a new show, I'm going to be showing that, the Affordable Art Fair Battersea. Singapore
is coming up as well, so it's going to be pretty hectic now in the autumn. But anyway,
Art London in my opinion is the best design and the best laid out art fair. It's a very
well run show as well, but the tent, if you could call it that, is a great venue. It gives
off a really good, diffused light, so anytime in the daytime it's a really nice atmosphere
and great light to look at the artwork. And like I say, just a great show. I think last
year they had over 60,000 visitors and there's galleries from all around the world, from
Sparfield as Australia, America, Asia in the Middle East and a huge number of galleries
from mainland Europe as well, Paris, Spain all over, as well as of course lots and lots
of UK galleries and London galleries like Thomson's Gallery, who are representing me
again this year. It's my fourth year at Art London and like I say, it's my second visit
to the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. Thomson's did a concept garden designed around my work
at the Chelsea Flower Show and we sold a picture for charity and we raised £13,000 for the
Children's Acute Transport Service and also had a charity auction in the Royal Academy
for Marie Curie. But anyway, back to Art London and a great show and lots of, it's great
to see lots of photographic galleries down there nowadays. We have a new one, the Little
Black Gallery. It's their second year show in lots of Bob Carlos Clark's work on stand
and I know John Kenny has been represented by them as well. He has been some lovely work
and he's on a lot of the fairs on the circuit with me and a really nice guy and great shots.
Gallery Oliver Waltman, Paris Space Gallery, they've got another gallery in Miami as well
and real photo centric, some really great work there too. There's Zombie Art and another
Paris Space Gallery. They've got a lovely, huge selection of photography and it's a
great fair and I had a great day setting up today amongst all the nice chaos and I look
forward to going down tomorrow. Thank you for your time.
