Art fairs are now part of a global phenomenon, providing connectivity and accessibility for the purchase of original art. Art Melbourne, Melbourne’s Affordable Art Fair attracts over 14,000 visitors annually with the purpose of buying art. Featuring work that is both collectable and affordable, the show is one of the largest annual art fairs in Australia. Our formula is relatively simple: a relaxed, unstuffy environment and lots of good quality original art. Melbourne’s Affordable Art Fair offers something for every taste and budget with an extensive range available from local and international exhibitors. Educational art talks, printmaking demonstrations, live entertainment and a diverse range of galleries and artists on site, creates the perfect environment to discover the art world without feeling intimidated. We believe buying art can provide a lifetime of enjoyment and inspiration and no one should miss this opportunity. Join us 24 - 27 May 2012 and feel inspired by the purchase of authentic pieces that you love!Tumblr (3.0; @artmelbourne)http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4lxxi6uIy1rui52eo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>“Love & War”, acrylic, ink and resin on board, $2500, David Hayes at Stand S21 #artmelbourne (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/post/23770320020http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/post/23770320020Sat, 26 May 2012 12:08:06 +1000artmelbourne<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tjrvxSfF1qdrgo9o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3tjrvxSfF1qdrgo9o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://arpeggia.tumblr.com/post/22788164338">arpeggia</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.yangyongliang.com/">Yang Yongliang</a></p> <p>Cement Dragon <br/>cement, fiberglass, ceramic, cotton, model flies <br/>510 L x 220 W x 210 H cm</p> </blockquote>http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/post/23273633133http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/post/23273633133Fri, 18 May 2012 13:47:14 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3v9kzt6yk1qh0usho1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3v9kzt6yk1qh0usho3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3v9kzt6yk1qh0usho4_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3v9kzt6yk1qh0usho2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://myedol.tumblr.com/post/22845290187">myedol</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Under Foot</em> by <strong>Nic Joly</strong></p> </blockquote>http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/post/23269333444http://artmelbourne.tumblr.com/post/23269333444Fri, 18 May 2012 12:33:38 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3vxhkoW9q1r05oujo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3vxhkoW9q1r05oujo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3vxhkoW9q1r05oujo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3vxhkoW9q1r05oujo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://doloresdepalabra.tumblr.com/post/22872232919/calamita-cosmica-cosmic-magnet-in-english-is-a">doloresdepalabra</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>‘Calamita Cosmica’ (Cosmic Magnet in English) is a 28 meter long sculpture of a human skeleton created by Italian artist Gino De Dominicis and is on display at the Museo Nazionale della Arti del XXI Secolo – MAXXI museum of contemporary art in Rome, Italy.
