The reason why our newsletter maintains a weekly presence is mostly due to the fact that the artists we work with are resoundingly making strides across the board with their art careers. None moreso than Canadian artist Brendan Tang, who we had the pleasure of introducing last summer in our highly lauded Biennial of the Americas exhibition "You Are Here." Anyone who has followed the gallery since summer knows that Brendan's stature has been on the rise all year, first with his nomination for the prestigious Sobey Art Prize, which he is now a finalist for (with winner to be announced next week), followed by scads of press from a variety of sources, and this week once again with his receipt of another prestigious award, the 10th annual Winifred Shantz award for ceramics which carries a $10,000 dollar purse. What does all this mean for Brendan's career? Well, we have confirmed that two of his works from our exhibition will go not only to the 67th Scripps Ceramic Annual in California this winter, but will also return back to Denver for inclusion in next year's focus on clay exhibition at the Denver Art Museum. Anyone looking for a solid acquisition should consider these works now while you still can, Tang's inventory has been largely depleted recently by collectors from his major exhibitions in Montreal and Toronto......and that's all before next week's exciting announcement of the Sobey winner.
