Flying Start to 2008
January 4th, 2008
Happy New Year to everyone and thank you for your wonderful support throughout 2007! We’ve started 2008 as we mean to go on with more exciting projects than ever before.
Particularly popular are our private tours and art-themed events. We have been working flat out to provide unique and exciting events incorporating gallery tours, studio visits and presentations from art-world insiders.
Working on behalf of Hyatt Global Corporation, we are putting the finishing touches to a fantastic collection of new art to adorn the public spaces of the very trendy Andaz hotel at Liverpool Street in London.
From Strength to Strength
October 15th, 2007
The Frieze Art Fair generated record levels of interest in our guiding services last week with a number of guests including some prolific collectors (and a couple of famous politicians and rock stars, not to drop any names!) joining us for an up-close look at some of the highlights of the year.
Our reputation as a leading authority on the London contemporary scene was further cemented with an article about a project we completed for investment bank Insinger De Beaufort appearing on Bloomberg Newswire. The article can be found on Bloomberg's website here.
Cutting-Edge Corporate Collections
October 5th, 2007
The summer has seen Exhibit-K's expertise in London's up-and-coming artists applied to a number of projects for prestigious corporate clients. Renowned bank Coutts & Co invited us to undertake a substantial rehanging of work loaned from the Saatchi collection for their Strand offices, working alongside Simon Wallis, Director of the Chisenhale Gallery. Upon completion we provided Coutts' staff with an exclusive introduction and tour of the collection, receiving overwhelmingly positive feedback.
Meanwhile financial services firm Experian, supported by Arts & Business, engaged Exhibit-K to orchestrate the beginnings of a fresh photographic collection at their new London offices. High on the agenda was a desire to engage staff in the selection of works and build a collection with lasting significance for the corporate brand. We led groups of staff on tours of galleries and studios, giving them the opportunity to meet artists and select works first-hand, then worked to procure the chosen pieces, arrange installation and document the collection. The project concluded with a launch event featuring tours of the new artwork and a reception at SW1 Gallery. The consultation shortlist with images of work can be seen online here.
