After 32 years of working with some of Australia’s premier artists, and meeting so many collectors and curators, many of whom became good friends, it is now time for a change.
It has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with so many good people and I hope that our paths will cross in the future. It has been a joy giving so many artists their first exhibition, taking many to international art fairs, bringing international artists to Australia and placing so many artworks in public institutions where they will be part of a permanent cultural asset. Several artists have been associated with the gallery from the start and I thank them and others for their loyalty and friendship. Many clients have supported our artists over the years and I thank them also.
GAGPROJECTS, Kent Town space will close at the end of our SALA exhibition, which is significant for several reasons. Deborah Paauwe was one of the first artists to exhibit with us, her monograph is 20 years old this SALA Festival. The SALA Festival was born in the gallery and has become a major event on the visual arts calendar in South Australia each year.
We will keep you informed of our future activities via our email mailing list. GAGPROJECTS will maintain an office in Kent Town and Berlin, contact details will remain the same. We will still represent a few artists and maintain a small viewing space by appointment.
GAG ART ADVISORY will be available to provide valuations for insurance purposes and donations under the Cultural Gifts Program. We can advise collectors, negotiate purchases and sales, negotiate commissions, arrange installation, and accompany collectors wanting to attend art fairs overseas - lets have fun.
