Art and Antiques Fair Olympia returns this week for collectors and the simply curious

The Art and Antiques Fair Olympia returns today for its 45th year, with visitors expected to attend from across the globe.

Collectors - or just the creative and curious - will be able to find pieces from 160 dealers over the course of the event, which runs until Sunday, July 2.

It’s the world’s biggest art and antique fair, with items ranging in price from £100 to £1 million. As well as the chance to buy rare and unique finds, the fair will have a range of talks and events, including curators from the British Museum and Tate Britain, and experts from Sotheby’s.

The massive range of objects on sale include furniture, glassware, ceramics, mirrors, clocks, rugs, jewellery, sculpture - and, of course, art.

Highlights include Lady Be’s mosaic portraits made of objects that have lost their original function, including one of David Bowie, a rare 18th century clock, a wool tapestry from Sonia Delaunay, and a signed drawing of a shark by Damien Hirst.

The Art & Antiques Fair Olympia takes place at the Kensington Olympia Exhibition Centre and runs from June 26 to July 2; olympia-art-antiques.com
