free art! well, almost
October 13, 2008 10:32 am
For aspiring art collectors who find that money is no longer no object but are still craving a culture fix, London’s premier artist/curator, Jasper Joffe, has a solution. Billed as “the Art Fair for the Credit Crunch,” Joffe’s Free Art Fair, which opens today, presents works by 50 artists. “Contrasting with the recent Damien Hirst auction and the millions of pounds of sales of the Frieze Art Fair,” Joffe declares, “the Free Art Fair is about valuing art for art’s sake not just its price.” Works on offer for a pittance will include prime pieces by emerging talents as well as million-dollar names such as Gavin Turk, James Jessop, and Stella Vine. Seems like the best things in life are once again (nearly) free.
