2025’s British Art Fair is set to take place at London’s Saatchi Gallery in September. This year the Fair’s dynamic programme includes a fresh look at overlooked Modern British artists in its special exhibition Unsung, alongside platforms Digitalism and SOLO CONTEMPORARY, with a gallery installation by the Fair’s 2025 charity partner Hospital Rooms.

Billed as the only fair dedicated to Modern and Contemporary British art, BAF has promoted British art since 1988, growing from its Modern British roots to become a showcase for excellence in homegrown art, from the mid-20th century to the present day.

The Fair’s Co-founder, Gay Hutson, says, ‘The 2025 line-up is impressive and shows a real commitment to Modern British Art – the Fair’s core since it started in 1988 – while our contemporary sections are going from strength to strength. Unsung, one of the programme highlights, brings to the fore talented artists who have been overlooked.’
