The Vauxhall Art Car Boot 2009 is a follow-up to last year’s success with the automotive art show.
Regular car booters Sir Peter Blake, Gavin Turk, Bob and Roberta Smith and Pam Hogg, were joined by Natasha Law, Donald Urquhart and Pearce & Ramsay for the funkiest art car boot fair around.
Now in its 5th year, and still one of the most exciting and diverse days out on the summer calendar, the Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair announced its full line up of amazing artists, fashion designers, performers and rarities returning to the Old Truman Brewery this June. With old favourites and a selection of fresh young talent, this year’s Vauxhall Art Car Boot Fair promises to be the best yet.
From Bob & Roberta Smith selling large scale versions of pound notes at inflated prices, to Donald Urquhart carrying out his unique brand of performance art, there is something to suit any collector’s pocket and a credit crunch beating selection of works from up and coming artists, making this the ultimate recessionista event.
Last year I was given a Peter Blake limited edition signed print - the bargain price of the purchase was £30. I cannot recommend this enough!
