Affordable Art Fair

The Affordable Art Fair opened its Autumn Collection today at Battersea Park, London, with 130 galleries displaying their wares until Sunday 22 October. "Contemporary art for sale under £3,000" it proclaims. Affordable? Coxsoft Art can't afford the entry fee: £10 on the gate, £8 for silver surfers (that's 80%)! Well ... maybe, at a pinch, but why pay to view what salespeople want to sell me? I can walk into any private gallery in London and have a butchers for free. (Butcher's hook = look.)
