Held at the Royal College of Art, arguably ‘the spiritual home of British art,’ it is the first big fair of the autumn season.   The college is an ideal setting to see work by the great names of the 20th century, many of whom are former students:   Bacon, Freud, Frink, Frost, Hepworth, Hockney, Hodgson, Lanyon,  Lowry, Moore, Nash, Piper, Riley, Scott, Spencer and Sutherland.  Alongside will be a large selection of contemporary work by established  names such as Damin Hirst, Tracey Emin, Banksy as well as both emerging artists and recent graduates.
