The 2010 Art Car Boot Fair is back and revvin' up to be the summer's hottest artsy fartsy date – serious art bargains and oodles of frivolity, artful dodging and hipster wrestling!
Whether it’s a limited edition tax disc holder designed by Sir Peter Blake, or a 500 square mile piece of ocean in badge form, a swine flu cupcake, or a small sculpture of Big Ben melting, there's something for everyone. Hell, why not have yourself entirely cased in plaster?To slake your thirst there will be scrummy cocktails from The East Room and epicurean delights from The Bath Pig, homemade ices from La Grotta and artsy fartsy tarts from Soho’s own Mrs Marengo.
Plus entertainment from Gabby Young, Revere, Marawa, The All Star Wrestlers, 'the Swedish Blonde' and the East’s ultimate funsters The Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club and about a million more performers! See you at the wrestling ring, ding ding. Yes, they have one of those too.
The Art Car Boot Fair was devised by Karen Ashton in 2004 and developed through collaborations with Helen Hayward and Vanessa Fristedt. Worried by the increasingly commercialism and stuffiness of the art scene, they were determined to smuggle back in, through the back seat, the fun and frivolity as epitomised by anarchic 90's events 'A Fete Worse Than Death'. Sotheby's be damned!
