1-54 is the first and only international art fair dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.
With three editions per year, in
London,
New York, and
Marrakech, and a pop-up fair in
Paris, the name of the fair, 1-54, draws reference to the fifty-four countries that constitute the African continent.
1-54, founded by Touria El Glaoui, has held annual editions in London since 2013, New York since 2015, and Marrakech since 2018. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, 1-54 spearheaded the ascent of contemporary African art on the international art market and became a leading voice.
