The 2013 edition of the London Art Fair, which is also their 25th anniversary, has announced their final gallery line-up which looks to be exciting in content and substance.

A total of 100 UK and international galleries have been confirmed for the Main Fair with a further 30 younger galleries exhibiting new work in the acclaimed Art Projects section. Photo50, a themed showcase for contemporary photography presented by a guest curator, will return for the seventh year.

Contemporary galleries include CHARLIE SMITH london, Galerie BRAUBACHfive, UNION Gallery, Danielle Arnaud, Flowers Gallery, SALON VERT, Pertwee, Anderson & Gold, Jack Bell Gallery, Scream and VIGO.

Now in its eighth year, Art Projects features London’s emerging contemporary artists and galleries presenting solo shows, curated group displays and large-scale installations, this year including Limoncello, COLE, Hannah Barry Gallery, The Sunday Painter, Ceri Hand Gallery and Poppy Sebire. Exhibiting at the Fair for the first time, the Artist-Led Initiatives Support Network (A.L.I.S.N) will present a selection of the most sophisticated of artist-led projects in the UK and also show as part of Art Projects Film and Performance Programme. ArtLyst will be there to answer any questions about their new online curated program for emerging artists. Visitors to the Fair will be greeted by Tread Pad - a monumental sculpture by James Capper, represented by Hannah Barry Gallery.

Photo50 is an exhibition of contemporary photography and features fifty works – many for sale – this year curated by Nick Hackworth, Director of Paradise Row. Hackworth’s exhibition, titled A Cyclical Poem, will ask us to consider the idea of historical change through the work of photojournalists and documentary photographs from the 1970s to the present day.
