Art Fair East, one of the Eastern region's largest and liveliest contemporary visual arts events, is the kind of event rarely seen outside London. It brings together artists, galleries and dealers from the UK and overseas and takes place in the spectacular setting of Saint Andrews Hall in the heart of Norwich, from 2-4 December. Founded and curated by experienced arts professionals Will Teather and Brian Korteling, Art Fair East showcases quality galleries, dealers and artists, bringing a slice of the art-world to both seasoned and new art lovers. Visitors are able to meet artists and art experts and enjoy a great variety of artwork in one place. Will Teather said ‘We are passionate about getting people more involved in art, to value it and cherish it and Art Fair East provides a great chance for people to expand their existing art collection or start their own journey into collecting’. Amongst the international range of exhibitors this year are dealers in editions by Damien Hirst and Banksy, alongside those offering work from the Norwich School of Painters including names such as John Kiki and Bruer Tidman. Gallery specialists will be available to advise on collecting contemporary art, from affordable prints by recognised artists and new talent through to serious investments, including original paintings, prints, sculpture, photography and artworks made to commission. Brian Korteling added, ‘We have had a fantastic response to the fair making selection very difficult. We are working with many exciting galleries and artists to make Art Fair East one of the largest temporary exhibitions of contemporary art seen in the East of England.’ Will Teather and Brian Korteling will also both be exhibiting. Will recently set a new sales record for the prestigious Other Art Fair in London. His spherical painting of Norwich’s Elm Hill Bookshop achieved the highest sale price ever recorded, becoming the first work to reach a five figure sum in the fair’s history. In July this year Brian Korteling’s Mirror Cube won the River Waveney Sculpture Trail Award. Art Fair East is presented in association with sponsors Musker McIntyre.
