LONDON ART FAIR ANNOUNCES 2026 PROGRAMME
21- 25 JANUARY 2026 PRESS PREVIEW: 20 JANUARY 2026
London Art Fair returns to the capital from 21-25 January 2026, bringing together a curated selection of leading Modern and Contemporary galleries from the UK and around the world.
Now in its 38th year, the Fair remains a trusted destination for collectors and art enthusiasts to discover new work, connect and invest at the start of the international art calendar.
This year’ s Museum Partner is the National Trust, which will present surrealist and post-war abstract artworks from the collections of two modernist London homes: 2 Willow Road, the residence of Ernő Goldfinger, and The Homewood, home of architect Patrick Gwynne, offering a unique curatorial perspective on modernist experimentation and design.
Curated by art historian Dr Ferren Gipson, the 2026 edition of Platform, titled The Unexpected, explores artists pushing the boundaries of materiality and process to challenge conventional ideas of art-making. Meanwhile, Encounters brings together a roster of emerging and international galleries- with exhibitors from Mexico, Turkey, Japan, and France- introducing fresh perspectives and new voices to the London market.
Through its curated sections, special collaborations, and thoughtprovoking talks programme, London Art Fair 2026 reaffirms its role as a cornerstone of the UK art market- a place to discover notable pieces, deepen existing connections, and kick off the collecting season with purpose.
