Christie’s is partnering with the South London Gallery to mark the institution’s 135th year and raise funds for renovating its historic building while advancing collecting and outreach. Twenty-eight artists have donated works for a special selling exhibition tied to the broader “SLG Forever” campaign, which targets £2 million. The public show runs at Christie’s London from June 5–25, with extended hours during London Gallery Weekend June 5–7, and continues online until September 30. Participating artists include Tracey Emin, Frank Bowling, Katharina Grosse, Alvaro Barrington, and Ryan Gander. The program features works such as Emin’s work on paper, Firelei Báez’s work on paper, Barrington’s donated canvas, and a light box by Pope.L. The partnership with Christie’s Private Sales is intended to provide greater financial stability for the gallery.
"Christie's is partnering with the South London Gallery (SLG) on a special selling exhibition to mark the beloved U.K. institution's 135th year, and raise much-needed funds to renovate its historic building and advance its collecting and outreach missions."
"Tracey Emin, Frank Bowling, Katharina Grosse, Alvaro Barrington, and Ryan Gander are among 28 artists who have donated works to the exhibition-part of the museum's broader "SLG Forever" fundraising campaign, which aims to raise £2 million ($2.7 million)."
"The show will be open to the public at Christie's London from June 5-25, with extended hours during London Gallery Weekend June 5-7. It will continue online until September 30."
"SLG's director Margot Heller said the gallery received a "fantastic" response from the participating artists. She attributed their enthusiasm to the fact that the SLG is particularly well-embedded within its local community of Peckham and broader southeast London."
