The Independent art fair has named the 32 exhibitors that will take part in the third edition of its Independent 20th Century, dedicated to showcasing art made between 1900 and 2000. The fair returns to Cipriani South Street, running September 5–8.
Nearly half of the exhibitors will be showing at this iteration of Independent for the first time, including London’s Alison Jacques, São Paulo’s Gomide&Co, and New York’s Ippodo Gallery, as well as the auction platform, founded by Loïc Gouzer, a former chairman for postwar and contemporary art at Christie’s.

Among the solo booths that will feature in the fair are Raoul Dufy, an early 20th-century artist associated with the Fauves, presented by Nahmad Contemporary; Almine Rech showing Karel Appel’s work of the 1950s and ’60s; Lenore Tawney’s fiber works from the second half of the 20th century via Alison Jacques; and Diane Rosenstein Gallery’s focus on Sarah Schumann, a queer figurative painter and collagist working in postwar Germany.
Similarly, dealers will also show the work of multiple artists in their booths. Richard Saltoun Gallery will exhibit 12 female Surrealists working, including Eileen Agar, Bĕla Kolářová, Maria Martins, and Juliana Seraphim. Ryan Lee will have a two-person featuring the work of Richmond Barthé and Emma Amos, while Gomide&Co will show the work of Brazil-based Maria Lira Marques and Paraguay-based Julia Isídrez (Guaraní), who is also featured in the 2024 Venice Biennale. Similarly, P420 will show the work of Filippo de Pisis, who is likewise a participant in the current Biennale.
In a statement, Elizabeth Dee, the fair’s founder, said, “Independent 20th Century is broadening our understanding of the canon, by showcasing key artists and movements currently undergoing reassessment in our cultural landscape. We present a platform for well-informed collectors and museums who are actively engaging with opportunities to thoughtfully explore new art historical conversations. Our mission as a fair is to link the past to the present moment in contemporary art.”
