Fair Founders
Art13 London is organised by Art Fairs London Ltd: a collaboration between Tim Etchells of SME London Ltd and Sandy Angus of Andry Montgomery. They were two of the three co-founders of ART HK, the Hong Kong International Art Fair, which has grown at an exponential rate. From its launch in 2008, ART HK quickly became a major fixture of the international art world. MCH, owners of the prestigious market leader, Art Basel have recently acquired a majority stake in the Fair. Moreover, furthering his interest in emerging art scenes and markets, Sandy Angus became a director of India Art Fair. |
