Joining the online fair this year as Official Partner is Martin Miller’s Gin – the first super-premium gin on the market, which triggered the gin renaissance when it launched in 1999. Inspired by the eponymous Martin Miller who, with his co-founders, challenged the convention of traditional gin production and created a genius gin from a ‘mad’ idea (as it was considered at the time). Miller’s artistic soul, entrepreneurial attitude, and obsession to create the world’s best gin is the transformation defined by the theme From Madness To Genius which is to be played out at both The Affordable Online Art Fair and the Battersea Autumn 2021 Fair in a series of events, tasting experiences, and an artist commission.
