A record number of galleries have applied for space to exhibit in the tented pavilions in George Square of the Glasgow Art Fair which takes place from April 19 to 22. A total of 43 galleries (including 11 from Glasgow) will have work from 1,000 national and internationally renowned artists on display. Last year, 16,000 visitors attended the event to admire the exhibits and to buy works ranging in price from just a few pounds to thousands. A total of £1.1 million was paid for 1,200 pieces of art, including five prints by Beatle John Lennon which sold for between £500 and £3,200.
