Affordable Art Fair Melbourne
Affordable Art Fair is an international contemporary art fair, founded in 1999 by collector Will Ramsay. It was first held in London with one goal only: to make art accessible to all. 20 years later, the fair has now conquered the world, with several editions in almost all continents. In September 2019, the first Australian edition of the fair has been held in the Royal Exhibition Building of Melbourne. Both Australian and international galleries are showcased during this 4-day fair. Like its sisters shows, Affordable Art Fair Melbourne is a place to discover future stars with a focus on emerging and mid-career artists. Many Affordable fairs take place all over the globe like Affordable Art Fair NY, Affordable Art Fair Stockholm and Affordable Art Fair Singapore.

@guillaume.bresson at @galerieobadia. You have to see this stunning exhibition featuring 8 breathtaking paintings exploring the theme of falling. I love the way Guillaume Bresson takes inspiration from classical painting codes and techniques while bringing an incredibly contemporary touch to it.
Not to be missed under any circumstances!

@helenebaillygallery is definitely my must-see booth at @fabparisfair 2023! She presents here 18 stunning pieces of modern art. I fell in love with a massive painting of #sergepoliakoff and a poteaux of a mustketeer paintor by #pablopicasso, both from 1967.
Other great artworks are on view, such as an ostrich by #diegogiacometti, a whimsical clown by #marcchagall, a beach scene by #keesvandongen or three ceramics that are unique pieces by #pablopicasso.
Don’t miss out! Booth B17, Grand Palais Éphémère, 22-26 November.
