After a busy September art fair calendar in New York, many art enthusiasts are packing their bags and heading to London.

FOCUS Art Fair London 2025

October 16-19

For its landmark fourth edition, FOCUS  art fair will unite 42 exhibitors in London’s SAATCHI GALLERY, honing in on its foundational dedication to Asian contemporary art with a bold, transformative program. Founded in 2017 by Paris art agency HongLee Curator, FOCUS was envisioned as an interface between the physical and digital art worlds, and is one step closer to achieving this vision by availing the advanced display technology of collaborative partner, LG Electronics. In addition to exciting showcases from exhibitors such as Gore Gallery, presenting a solo show of Oliver Mourão, East Atelier Gallery Seoul and Jay Chung Gallery, there will be exhibitions from Michelin-starred Chef Kiran Kim (colloquially known as “Chef KiKi”). Kim will present her “Art on Table” performance, which melds the experience of fine art and fine dining.
