"Since its inception, 1-54 has established itself as a leading voice in the global discussion on contemporary African art and has been at the forefront of the African art market with annual editions across three continents.
For 1-54 London 2025, more than 50 new and returning exhibitors will showcase the work of over 100 established and emerging artists from Africa and its diaspora in a variety of media from painting, photography and sculpture, performance to mixed media, textile and ceramics. The Fair will be accompanied by special curated events, a rich VIP and Public programme. 1-54 will once again stage a monumental installation in the imposing backdrop of Somerset House's Edmond J. Safra Fountain Court, providing an artist with the unprecedented opportunity to present a large-scale installation in a historic public setting during the fair." - Description taken from the 1-54 African Art Fair Homepage.
