Pavilion of Art & Design London is to be held on 12-16 October, 2011.
Fair organisers Patrick Perrin and Stéphane Custot announced 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).
Dublin-born designer and architect David Collins, known for his luxury interiors and design, has been invited to dress the entrance area of this year’s fair. Also a member of the Moët Hennessy-PAD London Prize judging panel, Collins will design and create a lavish foyer to the marquee on Berkeley Square.
