ARTfutures 2005: The exciting way to begin or extend a contemporary art collection
For those in the market for cutting edge contemporary art, whether first-time buyers, or new or committed collectors, the Contemporary Art Society’s annual ARTfutures, is a “must see”. What makes ARTfutures unique is that each piece is individually selected by a team of curators. This year’s exhibition will show over 1000 works by around 150 artists including Liam Gillick, David Shrigley, Jane and Louise Wilson and many other established artists, alongside a host of emerging artists – the names of tomorrow. Curators are available throughout the exhibition to advise both new and committed collectors. Prices range from £100 - £5000.
ARTfutures 2005 Curators and Guest Curators:
The curating team for ARTfutures 2005 is led by Jeni Walwin, independent curator and writer, and Nour Wali, Contemporary Art Society’s Corporate Collections Advisor. In addition, there are three Guest Curators at ARTfutures 2005 each of whom have been asked to nominate one artist to be included in the exhibition whose work they would like to buy if given a windfall to spend on contemporary art. The Guest Curators for ARTfutures 2005 are Iwona Blazwick (Director, The Whitechapel Art Gallery), Audrey Wallrock (Contemporary Art Collector) and Rebecca Wilson (Editor, ArtReview).
Iwona Blazwick selected the work of Claire Barclay
Audrey Wallrock selected the work of Graeme Todd
