Zoo Art Fair 2005

John Jones Award 2005 With over thirty years experience in the fine art industry, John Jones has worked with leading public and private galleries, museums, conservators, artists, photographers and collectors. The company has watched the development of emerging artists and galleries in the UK – many of whom are now firmly established - and has supported and advised them on the presentation and protection of art work.

In support of the emerging artists showing at Zoo Art Fair, John Jones will present a new award for work on paper at the fair. The selected work will be acquired for the John Jones Contemporary Collection and a sum of £1,000 awarded to the artist to support them in developing future work. In addition John Jones will consult with the artist to develop a protective presentation solution for the work, which will then be exhibited in John Jones’ exhibition space.

John Jones aims to raise awareness of the long-term protective and preventative aspects of framing, drawing attention to the use of inert museum standard materials and techniques.
