Today I visited the Affordable Art Fair in Amsterdam-Noord. Great location (Kromhouthal), great art and a great (global) initiative.
The organisation at the Affordable Art Fair wants to make art accessible for everybody and thus affordable. There are artworks for sale from 100 euro’s till 5.000 euro’s.
As said, held at a great location in Amsterdam-Noord, the Kromhouthal. An old fabric where in the 18th century ships were build. The contrast between the modern art and the urban details of the Kromhouthal were fantastic!
And ofcourse there was a very nice view at The IJ.
About the art… There were all kinds of arts. Here is an overview of the works that attracted my attention somehow.
These first pieces would be loved by my daughter Mia (11) also. A bit present popart I guess.. The Barbie was fantastic, it had that kind of technic that the newspaper dress dissapears when you walk along. I really love this kind of art, not too complicated. And that matchbox would perfectly suit next to our woodstove.
But then my heart hit on… Banksy art was here!!!!!
Unfortunately for me still not affordable… Wish I was at Central Park a few weeks ago where Banksy himself sold pieces for 60 dollars
The monkey underneath was completely made of straws. Nice b*d n’est ce pas?
A good tattoo is also a fine piece of art, don’t you think? These were really wonderfull images. At the right an artpiece I really love; it simply is an old record of the Sex Pistols framed onto the British flag into a great painter list. Idea for a DIY project with your old records?
My conclusion of these art fair hours: it was fun, inspiring and accessible. Here you’ll find some detailed information.
Art is for everybody!
