1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair returns to Somerset House from 15-18 October 2026. Since its inception, 1-54 has established itself as a leading voice in the global discussion on contemporary African art and has been at the forefront of the African art market with annual editions across three continents.

Alongside the fair's contemporary programme, its fourteenth consecutive London edition and most significant evolution to date will also introduce a spotlight devoted to Modernist artists from Africa and its diaspora.

1-54-Contemporary African Art-Fair

1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair

1-54 is the first and only international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. With three editions per year, in London, New York and Marrakech, and pop-ups in Paris and Hong Kong, the name of the fair, 1-54, draws reference to the fifty-four countries that constitute the African continent.
