Salon Series events
7 March 2016, 6.30 – 8pm
In our inaugural talk, we will discuss the ever changing system of the art market.
Can the symbiotic relationship of auction houses and galleries continue? How is each one evolving artistically, socially and technologically? And what does the future of buying and collecting promise?
4 April 2016, 6.30 – 8pm
Join Grayson Perry RA as he discusses art and gender in this purely subjective journey through Art History, looking for themes that all too often say all too much about those who made them.
The human perceptions of masculinity and femininity have been transformed into visual arts since the beginnings of antiquity, with different artists holding different ideas of a subject that is both controversial and fascinating.
23 May 2016, 6.30 – 8pm
We welcome two stellar art collectors, Patrizia Sandretto Re Rebaudengo and Valeria Napoleone, to discuss collecting trends in the world today with Louisa Buck.
The role of the collector will be explored through a conversation with two of the most consummate collectors operating today.
