Ramsay Fairs is delighted to announce that the company has purchased British Art Fair from Robert and Johnny Sandelson, and this revered art fair will join their portfolio of art fairs with immediate effect.

The next edition of British Art Fair takes place 29 September - 2 October 2022 at Saatchi Gallery. Following in the footsteps of its history over three decades, the fair will feature the very best Modern and Contemporary British Art. It will be held on the ground and first floors of Saatchi Gallery, whose spacious galleries lend themselves to the elegant display of art.

Under the Sandelson brothers' ownership, British Art Fair mounted two successful fairs at Saatchi Gallery in 2018 and 2019, alongside memorable exhibitions celebrating the works of Ivon Hitchens, Alan Davie, Anthony Caro, Bridget Riley and a YBA exhibition curated by Gavin Turk. Robert Sandelson said “we really enjoyed our stewardship of this most venerable institution, and happily entrust its future success under its new ownership".

Gay Hutson, the co-founder of British Art Fair said “under their ownership, the Sandelson brothers took the fair to this fantastic new location and really helped raise the bar celebrating Modern British and Contemporary Art. Under Ramsay Fairs’ umbrella, we can look forward with confidence to future editions".

Will Ramsay said: “I have been a life-long fan of the British Art Fair, and it is a privilege to be a part of its journey; the fair adds another dimension to my portfolio. I look forward to hosting the 31st edition at Saatchi Gallery with a spectacular celebration of artistic diversity and talent from across the UK. We are delighted that Robert Sandelson has agreed to join our Advisory Committee to ensure a smooth transition”.
