We are very pleased to announce that 20th Century specialist Granta Fine Art is returning to Cambridge Art Fair for 2018.

With an eclectic collection of 20th century art, Granta Fine Art focuses on the development of a British tradition in the 20th century. As such, they have not restricted themselves to the narrow categories of 'Modern British' or 'Contemporary' but are fascinated by the sweep and breadth of the century. They have included works in the collection from the highly influential European Impressionist and Expressionist schools, without which (arguably) British Art could not have flourished as it did.

The result has been an eclectic mix of paintings and drawings spanning the 20th century from its roots in the 19th century to some of the more extreme expressions of the 21st century. Their aim is to make good art available to the collector at an affordable price and to advise their clients as they build their own unique art collections.

Simon Hearnden of Berlin Walls Art Events joined Cambridge Art Fair under the banner of 'Works On Paper From Berlin' for the first time in 2017 with his collection of German Artists, notably Walter Lindner, who proved to be very popular with our visitors and collectors.

We're very pleased to announce that Simon is back again this year with a real focus on Walter Lindner's work, presenting a retrospective show of this wonderful artist.

After completing a degree at each of the Berlin Arts Universities in the 1950s, Walter Lindner had become a senior graphic designer at Siemens Berlin advertising department, before embarking on a solo career alongside his illustrator wife, Maria. He completed 40 years of exhibiting at the well-regarded Frankfurt Art Fair in 2005 and sold well at exhibitions throughout Germany, especially during the 1970s and 80s. However Lindner was an introvert and remained under the radar in terms of wider recognition, though highly regarded by his contemporaries.

Simon Hearnden unearthed the delightful, accomplished monotypes of the enigmatic Walter Lindner (1936-2007) in a street market in Berlin in 2006. As a graphic designer himself, Simon quickly recognized that Lindner was a true master of his oeuvre. He had no hesitation in selling his Oxfordshire home to purchase the contents of the artist’s studio, after the artist passed away not long after they had met. 

For four fruitful decades Lindner perfected his somewhat unique technique - creating monotypes by painting with oils on to glass plates, before making a one-off print from the plate. The print became the basis for his unique, hand-finished, sometimes elaborately embellished, original artworks.

Looking great in almost any location, and with much humour or dark satire at times, these currently relatively inexpensive, exquisite compositions also present a possible investment opportunity. Wherever they are shown the works create considerable interest amongst collectors and artists alike. For Simon it will only be a fitting legacy for the artist once he becomes better regarded.
We look forward to seeing what Lindner treasures Simon brings to Cambridge Art Fair this year.

Jim Woodman Fine Art is a well established online gallery which was set up by Jim Woodman to show the work of a small group of artists at art fairs such as the Cambridge Art Fair, Affordable Art Fairs and Edinburgh Art Fair.

The artists are all professional painters with well deserved reputations in the area where they work and who exhibit regularly in solo and group shows.

Cambridge Art Fair 2018 takes place in The Cambridge Roar’s new and improved marquee at Quy Mill Hotel & Spa, just a few minutes drive north east of Cambridge. The marquee is over 1,000 square metres in size and is heated/air-conditioned with solid sides and extensive glazed panel areas. 

We are very pleased to announce that, for the first time ever, Cambridge Art Fair will be partnered with a new event, Inspire Cambridge, that will run alongside the art fair in the marquee. The two events together will bring the worlds of fine art, homes & interiors, property & luxury lifestyle, along with fabulous artisanal food & drink by independent, local producers.

The Cambridge Roar marquee is large enough to accommodate both Cambridge Art Fair & Inspire Cambridge simultaneously, with a shared coffee lounge & wine bar area at the centre of the marquee, creating a physical separation between the two events.

Inspire Cambridge is part of a series of new events that will be rolled out across the UK in the next few years. Inspire Shows focus on the high-quality, innovative and independent businesses in the home interest sector.

Cambridge Art Fair 2017 launched last night with a fantastic, well attended Private View. Our huge thanks to all those who attended and especially those who bought art.

Don't miss the new paintings by the enormously popular and highly rated Artist Steven Lindsay at this year's Cambridge Art Fair.

Most of Lindsay's work is figurative and focuses on light, structure and composition. He believes that painting is a process of mark making and as such these marks should be evident and you can see the painterly quality throughout his impressive portfolio.

Estelle Lovatt, the art critic for the New Radio 2 Arts Show, said:

“Like revisiting Vermeer in the Dutch Golden Age of painterly skill against the Colour Field of Rothko, all intertwined with an aesthetic twist of contemporary, complex-simplicity. Lindsay using his paintbrush eloquently, capturing painterly conversations between the art history giants of a bygone age and a bygone art.” 

You'll find a selection of new paintings by Lindsay with Lime Tree Gallery on Stand E3 up on the stage in the Large Hall. Click here to visit the gallery website

Eight of the contributors to the fantastic Cambridge Art Book will be featured on Stand E2, up on the stage in the Large Hall at this year's Cambridge Art Fair. 

The Cambridge Art Book showcases the city of Cambridge through the eyes of its artists. Over 120 pages of vibrant contemporary images, 51 artists who have all been inspired by this incredible city, show Cambridge in a new and exciting way.

A map within the book will allow people to see the images on the page and then visit the building or place for themselves to see how the artists has interpreted them. 

The book has been created by local collage artist Emma Bennett.  Emma has lived in Cambridge for 12 years where she works as a commercial artist constantly inspired by the incredible city. The book was published in 2017 by UIT/Green Books.

Head up to the stage at this year's fair to see for yourself the wonderful art produced by this talented group of Artists.

We are pleased to announce the return of Stephen Walton Fine Art to Cambridge Art Fair 2017. Stephen has participated with us for a couple of years as one half of Walton & Bovill.

He specialises in working with designers and individual clients in creating bespoke collages of pictures. His holistic approach to each project is rooted in his historical knowledge and an 'eye' for originality.

"We believe that buying a work of art is a very personal business and in those mysterious moments leading up to a purchase we are there to help rather than to sell."

Cambridge Art Fair will feature it’s very own Champagne Bar again in 2017, thanks to an ongoing partnership with Cambridge Champagne Company, exclusive UK suppliers of Champagne Dominique Boulard.

Craig Kerrecoe, Managing Director of Red Dot Events Limited, the organisers of Cambridge Art Fair, said- 

“We are very pleased to be working with Paul and the team at Cambridge Champagne Company again for 2017. The Cambridge Champagne Company brings an exclusive product that will appeal to the discerning visitors that come to the fair. We look forward to hearing what our visitors think of their fabulous Champagne.”

Dominique Boulard’s family have been tending their vines for over 200 years. Every grape is picked by hand, so neither fruit nor vine is damaged. Each of the three classic champagne grape varieties are grown on Boulard family land. His vines grow on a perfect south-facing slope of the Vallée de la Marne, in the Grand Cru village of Mailly, and in a hamlet called – aptly – Paradis.

This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the prestigious wine guides Hachette des Vins and Gault & Millau. Indeed Dominique’s champagnes have beaten in blind tests many of the more famous brand names.

The Champagne Bar will be in the Large Hall, between the doors through to the Small Hall, right the very centre of fair.
