From 30th January 2014 Sotheby’s Sǀ2 is proud to present JUST NOW – curated by Bert Kreuk, this selling exhibition presents assertive and witty works by some of the most sought-after and stimulating contemporary artists working today, including Oscar Murillo, Alex Hubbard, Danh Vo and Theaster Gates. For Kreuk, collecting art is part of an educational journey and his faith in the on – going relevance of conceptual art underpins this exhibition. Carefully selected from Kreuk’s own collection, these works reveal an emerging generation of artists who, inspired by traditional techniques, are developing conceptual works that increasingly focus on a performative narrative.
Fru Tholstrup, Director of Sǀ2 in London, said: “Following the success of our two previous shows, we are delighted to be working with Bert Kreuk. Bert’s keen eye for quality and deeply – held respect for the conceptual ideas of this new generation of artists has resulted in an incredible group of works that offer a valuable, and in many respects unique, insight into the contemporary artistic landscape”.
