AUCTION DETAILS
This year’s first London edition of Contemporary Curated brings an exciting collaboration with London-based choreographer Michael Clark. Currently working as the Barbican’s Artistic Associate, Clark’s continuous collaboration with artists both on and off stage throughout his career will provide an engaging opportunity to look at the artworks offered in the auction, which will take place on 12 April 2017.
As part of this upcoming auction, we are offering a selection of works by established artists such as Alighiero Boetti, Karel Appel and Tom Wesselmann alongside those by emerging but already acclaimed talents such as Anne Collier and Josephine Pryde.
