BRITISH ART FAIR 2026
Returning to Saatchi Gallery from
24 – 27 September, British Art Fair is the
only fair dedicated exclusively to Modern
and Contemporary British art, bringing
together leading specialist dealers in a
setting designed for discovery and where
you can buy with confidence. Whether
visitors are starting a collection or building
on one, the Fair offers the chance to
explore exceptional works across a wide
range of price points all under one roof.
The 2026 edition is a trusted destination
for collectors, curators, and first-time
buyers alike. This year’s line-up spans
twentieth-century masters through to
significant contemporary voices, with
works by artists including Frank Auerbach,
John Craxton, Mary Fedden, Howard
Hodgkin, Tracey Emin, Terry Frost, Barbara
Hepworth, Damien Hirst, Ivon Hitchens,
David Hockney, Albert Irvin, Gwen John,
L.S. Lowry, Henry Moore, Paula Rego,
Bridget Riley, and Stanley Spencer.
The 2026 edition will also see the return
of Spotlight: Contemporary, a curated
section highlighting some of the UK’s most
exciting contemporary artists and dealers,
alongside Spotlight: Digitalism, an
exhibition showcasing digital works having
been created or exhibited in Britain. A
feature exhibition, curated by Jo
McLaughlin and supported by PensionBee,
will explore mid- and later-life creativity
through artists aged 50 and over whose
practices speak to reinvention, longevity
and sustained ambition. Alongside this,
Outside In joins as charity partner, marking
its 20th anniversary with a presentation of
artists supported through its work
championing those who face significant
barriers to the art world, underscoring the
Fair’s commitment to opening up
conversations around British art.

art takes centre stage. Our 2026 exhibitor
line-up brings together outstanding

a setting that is focused, expert-led, and
refreshingly enjoyable. We want the fair to
be a place where seasoned collectors can
discover something new, and where firsttime buyers feel confident to converse,
learn, and begin their collecting journey.’
