The START Art Fair was held at the luxurious Saatchi Gallery in London. The gallery provided generous space spread over three floors well-suited for displaying contemporary art. The fair focused on emerging artists from around the world, especially Asia. Gallerists and artists attended intimate dinners hosted by the founders to network. The fair director selected galleries from over a dozen countries to achieve a quality, varied selection of works underscoring the fair's identity of discovering new art scenes. An immersive installation by teamLab was very popular with visitors. While the fair was successful in attracting audiences, its focus on unknown talents made it difficult to draw major collectors interested in established artists and auction prices.
