CHART ART FAIR was established in 2013 by Gallery Susanne Ottesen, Andersen’s, Galleri Bo Bjerggaard, David Risley Gallery and V1 Galley, with the aim to challenge the boundaries and experience of a traditional art fair. The ambition was and remains to further develop the impact and role of a Nordic art event on the international art and cultural scene. From the beginning in 2013 Simon Friese has had a leading role in the growing success of the fair, initially as Operations Manager and from 2015-17 as Director.
