British Art Fair BRITISH ART FAIR 2026 | 35th Edition | 24 - 27 September | Saatchi Gallery London.

Founded in 1988, British Art Fair is the only fair dedicated to Modern and contemporary British art. Each year, fifty leading dealers exhibit paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures covering all the important artistic movements of the past 100 years: from the early modernists to the YBAs to contemporary street art. Most of the great names of 20th century British art are represented: Bomberg, Freud, Frink, Frost, Hepworth, Hockney, Lowry, Moore, Nash, Piper, Riley, Spencer and Sutherland alongside contemporary names such as Grayson Perry, Banksy and many others of the 21st century.
Much of the work is privately sourced and fresh to the market and dealers keep work back for the fair. NEXT EDITION: 24-27 September, Saatchi Gallery, Chelsea, London

On the last day of British Art Fair, don't miss out on a visit to our 2026 Partner stands on the second floor of Saatchi Gallery. ⁠
⁠
As part of their Born to Retire campaign, PensionBee presents 'Born To' at British Art Fair, curated by ⁠. The feature exhibition showcases five artists selected from an open call for artists aged 50 and over, which received more than 500 entries: Mike Kelly, Annie Luke Turner, Myrna Mitchell, Kas Williams and Richard Wilshire. Each artist came to their creative practice later in life, whether after raising a family, following a career in another field, or simply when time allowed, offering a timely reminder that being an emerging artist doesn't have to mean fresh out of art school.⁠

Bowlby Fine Art will present new work by four of its contemporary artists: Judith Brenner, Eleanor Dorrien-Smith, Anthony Murphy and Henrietta Stuart. The gallery is also showing a selection of works from the personal collection of Will Bowlby's late father, Nicholas Bowlby. This will include work by Sir Terry Frost RA, Sir Thomas Monnington PRA, Trevor Newton and John Napper.

A particular highlight will be a series of seven studies by Sir Thomas Monnington PRA (1902–1976), marking the first time these works have been exhibited in over 30 years. The studies were created for Monnington’s Stations of the Cross, commissioned by and now on permanent display at St George’s Church in Brede, East Sussex. Monnington began the series in 1959, exhibiting two studies that year at the Royal Academy.

These studies were exhibited in 1994 by Nicholas Bowlby, in a solo exhibition devoted to Monnington. It was the first exhibition dedicated to Monnington’s work since the Memorial Exhibition at the Royal Academy in 1977, which itself was the first ever exhibition of his paintings.
