PAD London

One of the capital’s premier art fairs, PAD London presents 20th-century design, art, photography, collectible jewellery and decorative works. The event was first launched in London in 2006 and has matured into a much-anticipated annual fair where approximately 70 international galleries come together from across Europe, Asia and North America. The cross-collecting spirit of the fair is enjoyed by a broad audience that includes consultants, interior experts, art specialists and members of the public. Some artists have never had their work exhibited before, and established names present brand new pieces for the first time. The show – held in Mayfair in early October – has one sister edition on the other side of the Channel, PAD Paris, which takes place in April.
