Abstract

Art14 London commissioned the artist Lothar Götz to produce a site-specific wall painting on the outside of the old Olympia Reception on Olympia Way, which will be unveiled on 27 February and on view during the duration of the fair. The commission is a further demonstration of the fair’s commitment to showcasing art that goes beyond the limits of the stand space, as demonstrated with the Art14 Projects inside the fair. With this work the fair embraces the importance of site-specific outdoor interventions. The commission furthermore highlights the fair’s interest in the role that art and architecture can play and the importance of public commissions which are vital for urban regeneration.
