Didn’t know what to expect from the Summer Exhibition at
Royal Academy of Art, thought it is just another group show. But it’s a selling
exhibition! Artists can submit works (some are invited), then the works are
curated/grouped. People can go in and mark down what they want and pay. Prices
are up from a few hundred GBP. Masters’ works like that from Kiefer are present
in the oeuvres, creating an interesting high/low range. Was amazed at the works’
quality – honestly will put many gallery shows to shame. And there are red dots
on many of the pieces now that it is close to 3 weeks since the opening. What a
superb way for people to buy affordable art! When can we have something like
that in HK?
