INVENTORY OF ARTISTS

We have been asked to give a comprehensive list of all the artists and designers that we've worked since our launch two years ago. I have always liked inventories and one of my favourite books is the the Tate Collection which is just a text book full of dates, titles and brief descriptions, but I love it! I suppose it is no surprise then that I find Japanese artist On Kawara's work equally exciting, archiving transient things such as time and place with his paintings and mailings. I first saw his work at the Ikon Gallery in Birmingham, UK but the MOMA have a great collection.




Below is our inventory which will hopefully grow and grow.
