A
major exhibition of artists indicative of an important trend -
the use of Old Master iconography in contemporary art. This interesting
new development in art has arisen in the past two years and is
emblematic of a return to painting and drawing, on the part of
young artists. Art Fortnight
London will be the first to spotlight this trend. The selected
work is a fascinating bridge between contemporary sensibility and
recognisable Old Master iconography. To date there are some thirty
artists under consideration.
Curated by Flora Fairbairn
and Catriona Warren
Open: 23 June till 4 July, 11am - 6pm (late opening until 8pm on 29 June)
Venue: 148A St. John
Street, EC1 (Near Clerkenwell Road junction) |

| Shock
of the Old |
|
Andrea Sarto, Madonna and Child with St. John, c.1513 |
Do
pre 20th century pictures have a place in the contemporary collectors'
world or should they be confined to museums? This most challenging
exhibition of Old Master pictures chosen from participating galleries,
will be devised by the three-dimensional designer and polymath
Thomas
Heatherwick. The exhibition will seek, through re-contextualising
pre 20th century pictures, to change our vision of the art of the
past and will suggest that pre 20th century art most certainly
does have a future as part of living 21st Century collecting.
Shock of the Old will be exhibited
in the Autumn of 2005 |
