New Haughton Art and Antiques Fair in London

Art Antiques London, the innovative new Haughton art and antiques fair, will launch this summer with a glittering “First Night” Gala on June 9th for The Bush Theatre, London’s most celebrated experimental theatre. Located in Shepherd’s Bush, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, it is considered one of the country’s leading and most prestigious new writing venues. Established in 1972, the theatre’s aim is to discover, produce and promote the most innovative and exciting new playwrights of the future. During the 37 years since it opened, the Bush stage has helped launch the careers of actors such as Kate Beckinsale, Simon Callow, Julie Walters, Alan Rickman, Antony Sher and Jim Broadbent and playwrights such as Stephen Poliakoff and Catherine Johnson. The Bush endeavours continually to introduce new people to its work and actively encourages young people to attend theatre for the first time through its education programmes. An intimate venue renowned for its close-up storytelling, the theatre holds a maximum audience of approximately 80.

Art Antiques London, will take place from June 9-16, 2010 in Kensington Gardens in a beautiful custom-built marquee opposite the Royal Albert Hall, adjacent to the site of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Incorporating the Haughton’s legendary International Ceramics Fair and Seminar, which has been a fixture in the London calendar for almost thirty years, the fair is aimed at both the seasoned connoisseur and those who admire and value beauty and timelessness. The Fair’s participants are leading specialists in a wide range of disciplines, including furniture, paintings, jewellery, clocks, textiles, silver and ceramics, as well as rare books and modern and contemporary objet d’art. Every object exhibited at the Fair is rigorously examined and vetted for quality and authenticity, so collectors can be assured they can buy with confidence. The Fair will also hold a full programme of lectures and seminars that will make Art Antiques London an important destination for international collectors and institutions.
