This January sees the 2010 installment of the London Art Fair, one of the UK's most extensive and best established Modern British and Contemporary art fair. Head to Islington's Business Design Centre, from next week, to check out art from over 100 of Britain's premier art galleries.

There is always a staggering range of work on offer, from painting to video, drawing to photography and installation. Visitors range from serious collectors to the merely curious, and prices vary accordingly: museum quality pieces can fetch millions, but there are also works available for as little as £50.

Whether or not you consider yourself a budding art investor, it is definitely worth a visit, if only to keep abreast of the kinds of work produced by today's cutting-edge artists.
