Regent's Park, London, is the venue in October each year for the exciting Frieze Art Fair. This year exhibition will take place between 14th and 17th October.

The exhibitors at the fair are both established and those new to the art world, appealing to an audience that is world wide.  The fair attracts art work from more than 170 international art galleries and is a one stop opportunity for art lovers to view and purchase art. As if this isn't enough, the fair also has artists' projects that have been commissioned exclusively – it is even possible to attend a session where artists conduct talks about their art.

The Frieze Art Fair has proved to be very popular, with in excess of 60,000 visitors that include the curators and collectors, artists and critics as well as the art loving general public. From the "first time" collector to seasoned purveyors of art, everyone is bound to find something to satisfy them at the art fair.

What sets the Frieze Art Fair apart is that it is one of a select group of fairs dedicated to contemporary and living artists, bringing exciting art to everyone. It is also unique in that it has its own temporary structure within Regent's Park that takes advantage of the natural light available. This use of natural light showcases the art in an entirely different way to the usual harsh artificial light of a trade show. As well, a series of concerts is presented during the week of Frieze Art Fair in an off-site location.

The fair provides professionally guided tours that are presented with the assistance of the Art Fund, to make your visit even better, furthermore Art Fund members enjoy two-for-one entry ticket offer.

As the inaugural Fair of the Summer season, the London International Fine Art Fair is arguably the widest ranging and most accessible event of its kind in London. It is also London’s oldest and greatest summer international fine arts and antiques fair. The 2010 Fair will open its doors to general admission from Thursday, 3rd June and will run over ten days, promising new and exciting items to view. The venue for this fantastic event is the exquisite Grand Hall in Olympia: counted amongst London’s most elegant venues.

The 2010 event has been expanded and improved and it has to be considered as a vital addition to London’s fine art scene: indeed, London has now become recognised as a major international focal point for fine art and antiques, rivalled only by the United States.

All levels of collectors are catered for at the LIFAF, from the first time collector to the seasoned and experienced ones. An unsurpassed array of art, jewellery will be on sale: all objects have been meticulously selected by a team of 200 experts.

There will be a special programme of talks, lectures and guided tours, presented by experts in their chosen fields, where all visitors will have the chance to expand upon their knowledge regarding fine art, antiques and modern and contemporary design. These eminent people include representatives from Sotheby’s Institute of Art and the World Monuments Fund.

A special and exciting feature exhibition this year is the “Modern British Masters: Pictures from the Bryan Ferry Collection”. This exhibition, which has to date been rarely seen outside the confines of Bryan Ferry’s home, consists of fifteen early twentieth century British paintings, encapsulating Ferry’s enthusiasm for the art of the era and which he has collected over a period of thirty years.

Become our member to enjoy FREE tickets to the Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair in London, 10th-12th June 2010 and many other art events across the UK all year around. If you are looking to buy Persian, Oriental or Antique rugs and carpets, then you certainly should not miss a great opportunity to buy some rare and high quality pieces during the fair.

Visitors to the Russian, Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair should prepare to be astonished by the amazing number and variety of fine art works and antiques on display by dealers and galleries from across the world. Those examples with a higher profile such as Byzantine iconography and paintings, as well as Faberge jewellery will be there, but you're going to get a lot more: indeed, there will be something for anyone who is in love with the fine art that has been manufactured by Russian and Oriental artists and craftsmen during the last millennium.

The art fair visitors will be able to see and buy such gorgeous pieces of art as highly decorated and beautifully crafted Persian, Oriental and Antique rugs and carpets. Some prominent examples of exquisite pieces to anticipate are Afghan Caucasian designed rugs, Fachralo Kazak rugs with classic design elements such as the classic box medallion with wine glass and a serrated leaf border and Turkoman carpets originating from Russian Turkmenistan.

Russian art collectors nowadays naturally gravitate to London to purchase the best examples of this genre as this city has become one of the most significant locations for Russian art auctions. Expatriate Russians living in London and other places and those still in the motherland travel to these auctions.

The 2009 Fair was designated by London's Russian community as a premier event on their social calendar. A highlight of this Fair was the Charity Gala Evening on behalf of The Children's Burns Trust, which was patronised by highly ranked Russians such as Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Dimitri Lobanov Rostovsky, celebrities and other VIPs. Approximately £15,000 was raised just for this charity through this evening, in conjunction with the Ritz Club VIP dinner.

Expectations were exceeded in quite a few examples of artwork sales: some even being recorded within the high six figure amounts. The Fair is particularly well regarded by the art community to the extent that galleries from as distant as, for example, the Far East and the United States are represented together with galleries from Russia, Europe and the Middle East.

Due to ever higher demand, the 2010 Fair will have on display Asian Art for the first time. The majority of this art primarily hails from the geographical area formerly known as Persia, for a long period renowned as the home of fine rugs and furnishings. Specialist Oriental and Indian art and antiquities dealers will also have on exhibit examples of a number of their finest collections: many who have attended the London Russian, Oriental and Eastern Art sales will see this as an answer to their prayers.

The organisers of the Russian Art Fair, in association with the Ritz Club Casino, The St Petersburg Ball, The Russian Summer Ball and representatives from the media and other Fair organisers, are intent on attracting top calibre clientele. To make certain that this happens, the venue selected for this 2010 Art Fair will be the opulent Art Deco ballroom in the Park Lane Hotel, located in London's Mayfair.

The Fair has been timed in order to take advantage of the greater numbers of art purchasers who are in London to capitalise from the Russian sales at Sotheby's, Christie's, Bonham's and MacDougall's, which are all occurring in the same week.

The 2010 Russian Oriental and Eastern Fine Art Fair will be open at the following days and events:

Private View: Wednesday 9th June 6pm to 9:30pm
Charity Gala Evening: Friday 11th June from 6pm
Public Days: Thursday 11am-6, Friday 11am-5 Saturday 11am-6pm

Those wishing to attend the specially organised Charity Gala Evening will be pleased to know that the recipient is once more the Children's Burns Trust.

In 2010 the Russian Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair launches the Eastern Art Prizes to discover the best emerging artists from Russia and Eastern Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Two of our artists are shortlised for the Anyya Sand Eastern Prize – Sonya Radan and Stojan Djuric.

Dedicated exclusively to Russian and Eastern Art, the Russian Eastern and Oriental Fine Art Fair is the first of its kind. Dealers and collectors from all over the globe will gather at the event to stun visitors with a huge array of fine art works ranging from fabulous Fabergé jewels through to Byzantine icons and paintings: work produced over the past millenium by Russian artists and skilled craftsmen.

London is now firmly established as the major city for Russian art collectors and is the home of many Russian art auctions. As such, the Russian Art Fair attracts expatriate Russian businessmen now living in London as well as collectors who still reside in the motherland and in other countries over the world. Indeed, the 2009 Fair was a major event in London's Russian community's  social calendar and included a Charity Gala Evening in aid of The Children’s Burn's Trust.

The event was attended by Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Dimitri Lobanov Rostovsky and other high profile members of the London Russian community, celebrity clientele, VIPs and invited guests. Together with the Ritz Club VIP dinner, the Fair raised approximately £15,000 for the CBT and there were some substantial six-figure sales. Gallery representatives from countries as distant as Russia, Europe, the Middle East, Far East and the United States travel to this premier event.

As a new addition for 2010, the Fair has expanded its horizons to also include Eastern Art, primarily from the area formerly known as Persia. This is in answer to the increasing demands for art from this region. As well, the Art Fair will also showcase dealers who specialise in fine Oriental and Indian art and antiquities. Until now, there  has not been an event in the UK that caters for this market, despite the fact that hundreds of people wishing to purchase such art attend the London Russian, Indian and Oriental sales.

The Russian Art Fair organisers, in conjunction with their partners the Ritz Club Casino, The St Petersburg Ball, The Russian Summer Ball, as well as major media partners and other fair organisers, are dedicated to attracting the highest quality clientele. The timing coincides with the  large additional influx of art buyers into London for the Russian sales at Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Bonhams and MacDougall’s, which will occur during the same week. The Charity Gala Evening will once more raise much needed funds to assist in the  rehabilitation of children with severe burns.
