Eye of the Collector at Chelsea Barracks

Eye of the Collector, the London fair that offers a curated presentation of art and collectible design, announces the highlight exhibitors and artworks for its 2024 edition. Taking place in a new venue at the beautiful Grade II listed Garrison Chapel at the Chelsea Barracks between 26th-29th June 2024, the fair offers a unique environment in which to appreciate and acquire works by both emerging and established 20th and 21st century artists and designers.

This edition will have a stronger focus on international art and artists and will see the fair collaborate with new galleries for the first time, as well as continuing long-standing partnerships with previous exhibitors.

Nazy Vassegh, Founder and CEO of Eye of the Collector, said: “From the outset we wanted Eye of the Collector to be a successful, creative art platform for galleries, artists, and designers, and one that collectors look forward to and have a strong affinity with. To that end we are bringing a fresh, new perspective to our fourth edition and are delighted to curate a selection of works at our new home, the Garrison Chapel in the Chelsea Barracks.

As well as having a broad spectrum of C20th and Contemporary British art, this year’s edition also places a greater emphasis on international art, with participating galleries from Europe, the Middle East and Asia for the first time.”

● Around 30 new commissions by contemporary artists and makers on show for the first time at the fair, including new works by Henrik Godsk (Vigo Gallery), Cathy de Monchaux and Gill Rocca (GBS Fine Art), Three One Four Studio, Ramiro Fernandez Saus (Long & Ryle), Alexander Massouras (Julian Page) and Antony Micallef (Dellasposa)
