Luxury Goods - The Cost of Art - Grey edition

Luxury Goods London explores 'the cost of art' through visual and performance art, painting, video, film, sculpture, music, storytelling, symposiums, and poetry, subverting the gloom and doom narrative of the economy in the heart of the city. Over 50 artists from all walks of life took part. Following the example of the Society of Independent Artists, the only requirement placed on each artist was to include a 50 word text (not 49, not 51, but 50 on the nose) about the cost of art. Constraining their text to 50 words precisely, the artists discussed cost and constraint constrained by a precise word count. All submissions were accepted. Introduction by Michael Glover, and afterword by Tracey Mobley, layout by Anne Tolstoy-Skipwith displays "the cost of art" text opposite an image of the artist's piece.
