Welcome to the Pavilion of Art & Design London
10-14 October 2012, Berkeley Square
Fair organiser Patrick Perrin is pleased
to announce the return of PAD London 2011, the strongest edition of the
fair since its inception in 2007. Praised for its sophistication, its refined
eclecticism, and the consistent high quality of its exhibitors, PAD London is
recognised today as the leading modern art and design fair.
A rigorous selection process has brought together the best
dealers in the world in their respective fields. PAD London today boasts 57
prestigious exhibitors, coming together from Europe, Asia and North America, to
convert Berkeley Square into an elegant and diverse emporium of the most
covetable works of art within the genres of Modern Art, Design, Decorative
Arts, Photography and Tribal Art from 1860 to today.
Once again Moët Hennessy sponsors the donation of a major
piece of Design or Decorative Arts to the Victoria & Albert Museum as part
of the Moët Hennessy-PAD London Prize. The prestigious judging panel,
chaired by architect and designer Nigel Coates, is comprised of prominent
figures in the fields of art, fashion, culture, communication and business,
such as Allegra Hicks, Jasper Conran, Tom Dixon, Bella Freud and Karla Otto.
Previous years' have seen the V&A acquire exquisite pieces from Friedman
Benda (USA) and Carpenters Workshop Gallery (UK).
