1-54, the first and only international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora, holds its London edition from 13–16 October. We preview 10 of the artists whose work will be on display this year.
With Frieze now well underway, New York has a taste again for art fairs those
not on a screen. And the next opportunity is around the corner: a potted edition of the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair New York will run from 15 to 26 May in the lobby gallery at Christie’s, with a larger selection of works online.
The Christie s exhibition, titled
Knotted Ties, draws together textile works by female artists from Africa and the diaspora, each exploring the medium’s capacity to shed light on “humanity’s entangled histories, challenging social landscapes, and complex realities,” according to a statement.
