Rose Electra Harris said,“ I’ m so thrilled to be selected for this year’ s prize and to visit Tampa Bay for the first time. Travelling to a new place is always such a source of inspiration for me. I’ m drawn to the unfamiliar, whether it’ s the history, the architecture, or the landscape, and it’ s always exciting to see how those impressions find their way into my own practice.”
CURATED SECTIONS
London Art Fair showcases contemporary practice and collecting trends within the art world through its criticallyacclaimed sections curated in collaboration with leading experts and institutions.
Museum Partner
For 2026, London Art Fair is proud to host the National Trust as its museum partner, who will present highlights from the collections of two modernist masterpieces: The Homewood and 2 Willow Road. This marks the first time the National
Trust has presented an exhibition of its modernist artworks on this scale, offering a rare opportunity to see many works that have never before left their historic homes. The display includes paintings and sculptures by masters such as Max Ernst, Rita Kernn-Larsen, Avinash Chandra, Prunella Clough, and Henry Moore, alongside the original furniture and interiors that give these homes their distinctive character.
Designed in the 1930s by pioneering architect Ernő Goldfinger for his family, 2 Willow Road in Hampstead is a celebrated modernist home opened to the public by the National Trust in 1996. The display will feature highlights from the Goldfingers’ 20th-century art collection, including a rare stringed sculpture by Henry Moore, Surrealist paintings by Max Ernst and Rita Kernn-Larsen; and a collage by Sir Roland Penrose featuring Lee Miller.
The Homewood in Esher, a postwar unconventional and luxurious modernist masterpiece designed by Patrick Gwynne, was built on stilts and meticulously designed as his family home until 2003. Highlights from its collection, including drawings by French artist and sculptor Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, will also be on display at the Fair.
John Chu, Senior Curator of Pictures and Sculpture at the National Trust, said,“ Both 2 Willow Road and The Homewood are exceptional examples of British modernist homes preserved with their original art collections. At 2 Willow Road, Ernő and Ursula Goldfinger’ s passion for art was inseparable from their architecture: deeply embedded in artistic circles, the couple supported exhibitions and were patrons of modernist artists. The Homewood, a mid-century modernist dream designed by Patrick Gwynne, carries the spirit of 1930s modernism into the postwar era with its elegant design and curated artworks. We’ re thrilled to bring these remarkable collections together for new audiences to enjoy at London Art Fair.”
Platform
This year’ s Platform section, titled The Unexpected and is curated by art historian and artist Dr Ferren Gipson, brings together galleries and artists redefining the boundaries between craft, applied art, and fine art. Building on Gipson’ s acclaimed book Women’ s Work, the exhibition explores how materials, process, and form can shift how we create and experience art. From textiles and ceramics to other unconventional media, the section explores the creative possibilities and surprises that emerge when artists experiment and innovate.
