The Art Car Bootique will distill the Art Car Boot Fair’s winning combination of fine art art and high end frivolity into a ‘best of the boot fair’ event at the cobbled canalside delights of Portobello Dock and Tom Dixon’s design week extravaganza. All manner of artworks, artwares and services direct from the car boot from artworld luminaries and emerging talents including Sir Peter Blake, Nick Reynolds, Gavin Turk, Pretty Taxing, Scrawl Collective, Club Shepway and the House of Fairytales ( featuring works from Fiona Banner, Simon Bill, Sir Peter Blake, Mat Collishaw, Enrico David, Ian Dawson, Jeremy Deller & Alan Kane, Simon English, Bert Gilbert, Harland Miller, Cornelia Parker, Simon Periton, Paula Rego, Jane Simpson, Bob & Roberta Smith, Kiki Smith, Francis Upritchard, Rachel Whiteread). Fine art, street art, limited edition prints, cool sculptures, art for kids and live while-you-wait portrait painting plus lots of arty entertainments.

The Dock, 21st – 27th September, is an emporium of creative talent curated by Tom Dixon and sponsored by Derwent London. Part of London Design Festival 2009, the event takes place at the new Portobello Dock development in Ladbroke Grove and plays host to a series of stand alone exhibitions, installations and pop-up shops spanning food, fashion, art, design and new media.
