From the
Editor Hello Readers, and a very warm welcome to the Spring 2019 issue of Fine Art Collector. Rarely has writing this opening overture been so polarising. The past few months have brought with them both an end to certain chapters as well as new opportunities, and the yin yang undulation between the two is a hard one to articulate. I must begin by paying tribute to two bastions of our art family, Stan Lee and Jeff Rowland. The loss of these two ‘larger than life’ characters has been profound, and their footprint will remain indelible for quite some time to come. They both, albeit in different ways, left a legacy behind for us to enjoy and remember them fondly; true gentlemen who always made time for people, and approached each day with that undefinable but unmistakable twinkle in their eyes. Spring, being synonymous with new beginnings, heralds growth, rebirth and a time for the world to emerge from the grey of winter into the technicolour of the season ahead. Our Castle family continues to flourish, with new galleries opening across the UK and new artists joining our fold. Read on for more details about the exciting developments that lie ahead. We also bring you news and features from the wider world stage in this issue. We’ve taken a look at the synergy between art and fashion, as well as tackling the subject of ‘rubbish art’, alongside a globetrotting tour de force courtesy of some of our artists and their travels. Brush up on your art knowledge with our glossary feature, browse all the latest releases from 2019 so far, and read what lies in store in the year ahead. On which note, I very much hope you enjoy this issue of Fine Art Collector, and I’ll close with this quote from American theologian, artist and activist, Thomas Merton: “ Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. ”
