BRITISH ART FAIR REVEALS 2026 EXHIBITOR LINE-UP

24 - 27 September
Saatchi Gallery, Duke of York HQ, King’s Road, London SW3 4RY

London, 3 June 2026 — Returning to Saatchi Gallery from 24 – 27 September, British Art Fair is delighted to announce the exhibitor-line up for its 2026 edition. The only fair dedicated exclusively to Modern and Contemporary British art, British Art Fair brings 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.

Gay Hutson, Co-Founder and Director, comments: “British Art Fair is where British art takes centre stage. Our 2026 exhibitor line-up brings together outstanding specialist dealers and exceptional works in 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 first-time buyers feel confident to converse, learn, and begin their collecting journey”.
