MORE EXCELLENT PRESS AND ATTENTION THIS WEEK FOR BRENDAN TANG

Another week, another great press notice on ceramic artist Brendan Tang, this time from the Toronto Star in conjunction with his exhibition at the Gardiner Museum of Art:

The Gardiner Museum also posted an excellent video of the exhibition along with interviews from the artists on youtube, which you can catch at:

And if you haven't already noticed, Brendan is currently taking off like a rocket.  Tomorrow is the announcement of the Sobey Prize, of which Brendan is a finalist (one of five) and which carries a $50,000 first prize award.  We can't wait to find out the results, but regardless of the outcome Tang has truly solidified an important position in the international dialogue of contemporary art through his work in the last year.  Two of his Plus Gallery vessels will be reappearing next year in the Denver Art Museum's exhibition "Extreme Dirt," one of which landed in a prestigious private collection this week.  Anyone with a taste for investing in art may want to consider the other before his prices skyrocket well beyond their current level.
