Future Icons returns to curate The London Art Fair VIP Lounge
London Art Fair showcases museum-quality modern and contemporary art to the capital. The Fair connects the best galleries from around the world with seasoned and aspiring collectors looking to acquire exceptional works, from both internationally renowned artists and emerging artists breaking new ground.
Last year London Art Fair launched Platform, a new section focusing on a single theme or discipline. For 2020 it will capture the breadth of different artists working in textiles and the growing appreciation of the medium as a beautiful and collectible art form.
To support this Future Icons has chosen 6 leading textile practitioners to create exclusive artworks to be displayed within the VIP Lounge for guests to enjoy and buy. These will be accompanied by a selection of ceramic installations, metal sculptures and wooden vessels. To compliment our collections we are proud to be supported by British furniture manufacturer ercol and Ptolemy Mann Rugs supplied by The Rug Maker.
Participating Future Icons include:
Claire Coles, Elizabeth Ashdown MA RCA, Jo Davies MA RCA, Kate Lewis MA RCA, Katja Angeli MFA RCA, Lee Borthwick MA RCA, Remy Dubibe, Sally McGill and Zuzana Lalikova
