Value Adding
"Last month, Artists Support had its third show in Los Angeles to time with Frieze Week, which launched there in 2019. Though the events side of things isn’t up and fully running in LA, the art world is slowly returning to normal – 'galleries are having shows, so there’s art to see, if not the normal openings movement around it,' Tiné says. Artists are more in demand now, he notes, meaning Artists Support has worked to longer lead times to make this show happen. But happen it did, and with an impressive line-up: at time of press, those who had committed works ranged from local contemporary kingpins such as Brian Calvin, Jim Shaw and Eve Fowler to the sought-after design art-architecture team of Charlap Hyman and Herrero (Zevi curated a show of their work at the 2019 Venice Biennale). 'It’s fantastic that there is an organisation facilitating the sale of our work to specifically benefit a cause of our choice as we, and I imagine many other people who make things, don’t generally have the margins in other commission-based partnerships to be donating proceeds like this,' says co-founder Adam Charlap Hyman."
