White Columns, New York’s oldest alternative nonprofit art space, has launched a unique fundraising exhibition titled “Art (by) Dealers.” The show features works created by over 90 art dealers and gallery professionals rather than the artists they represent. Organized by Kathy Huang and Will Leung, the exhibition presents uniform 12-by-9-inch works priced at $500 each, sold anonymously to benefit the nonprofit's programming.
Chinese collector and philanthropist Yan Du will open Yan Du Projects (YDP), a new nonprofit art space in London’s Bloomsbury district this October. Housed in a Grade I-listed 18th-century Georgian townhouse on Bedford Square, YDP will host site-specific commissions, exhibitions, artist residencies, and public events focused on artists from Asian backgrounds. The opening show features Chinese painter Duan Jianyu, and the first artist-in-residence is Bangkok-based Harit Srikhao. Hong Kong-based BEAU Architects designed a modular "suitcase project" interior to respect the building’s listed status.
