The African Art Series – a series of
exhibitions created in response to
the increasing interest and appetite
for contemporary African Art, both
in the capital and globally.
We are delighted to introduce the
inaugural event in partnership with
the prestigious Bvlgari Hotel London.
This exclusive event will showcase a
selection of artwork from new and
established African artists across
the continent and its diaspora, to
celebrate the unprecedented rise in
appreciation for African Art, amidst
the new narrative about luxury and
Africa.
The breadth of African artwork;
paintings, sculptures, prints, and
photography in different genres
emerging from the continent, is
capturing the attention and imagination

from the authentic opulence of exquisite
African art to new audiences
– in beautiful locations around the
