A new art fair planned for Istanbul, timed to coincide with the biennale

Following the sale of ART HK to the MCH Group, which owns Art Basel, co-founders Tim Etchells and Sandy Angus have been busy establishing new fairs. They are launching Art13 in London's Olympia Grand Hall in March 2013 and Etchells will launch Sydney Contemporary at Carriageworks in September 2013. Angus has followed suit with ArtInternational Istanbul, a new fair located in in a factory building in the Beyoglu District, and timed to coincide with the 2013 Istanbul Biennale.
